Fishing at Amory Lake, Seminole County, Florida

• Overview

  You will find Amory Lake in Seminole County, Florida. The sea is 28 miles distant. This is a pocket water of some 10 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. The closest town, Lake Mary, is 1.6 miles distant. Beyond it, Sanford at 2.8 miles and Heathrow at 3.8 miles. The line between counties passes nearby, which can change who manages the water.

• Where to Fish on Amory Lake

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Documented catches and surveys in the area cover bluegill, largemouth bass and blue tilapia. Presence in the area does not guarantee a fish on the day. Work Amory Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 82°F at the top of summer and 59°F at the bottom of winter. Heat, not cold, decides when to be on the water. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. The season on Amory Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Lake Como, 1.1 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. What applies at Amory Lake may have changed since it was mapped.
