Fishing at Diana Lake, Volusia County, Florida

• Overview

  The Volusia County entry here is Diana Lake, in Florida. The country round it is warm bottomland from end to end. At 16 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. By elevation it sits in the lower part of our Florida listings. For a base, Deltona sits 3.6 miles out. DeBary is 6 miles and Midway 6.2 miles. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Diana Lake

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Records collected within a few miles name bluegill, brown bullhead, warmouth, largemouth bass and black crappie. Local agencies keep the authoritative list for each water. The shape of Diana Lake decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 81°F and January reads 58°F. There is no dead season here at all. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Time your trip to Diana Lake by conditions rather than dates. Settled weather over several days beats a single fine one.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Mapping shows parking within half a mile. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. The nearest alternative is Sidney Lake, 0.3 miles out. Nothing on Diana Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
