Lake Como near Orlando: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Orange County, Florida, is where Lake Como sits. It stands 85 feet above sea level. Surface area runs to about 2 acres — small enough to read in one session. It is a small entry by Orange County standards. Orlando is the closest place, 1.7 miles off. Beyond it, Conway at 2.6 miles and Azalea Park at 3.2 miles. It sits near the edge of the county, so check which rules apply.

• Where to Fish on Lake Como

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Documented catches and surveys in the area cover bluegill, largemouth bass and blue tilapia. The list reflects reported sightings and surveys rather than what is stocked. At Lake Como light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 82°F and January near 60°F on the long-run figures. Warmth runs the whole year, so timing is about the hour, not the month. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. That is the shape of the year on Lake Como.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. There is a car park half a mile from the bank. Facilities run to toilets half a mile from the water. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Should this one be busy, Lake Greenwood is 0.6 miles off. Treat Lake Como as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
