Fishing Lake Fanny in Putnam County, Florida

• Overview

  Lake Fanny is a Putnam County water, in Florida. Elevation runs to 85 feet. At about 94 acres, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. Around 1.4 miles of margin, front to back. Hawthorne sits 6.6 miles from the bank. Then Interlachen, 7.1 miles, and Citra, 13 miles. Two sets of local rules meet not far from this water. It sits far enough from the road to feel away from things.

• Where to Fish on Lake Fanny

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Nearby survey and observation records mention bluegill, largemouth bass, warmouth and black crappie. The list reflects reported sightings and surveys rather than what is stocked. Take Lake Fanny a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 81°F, with January the cold end at about 55°F. The year runs unbroken and warm. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. Expect Lake Fanny to follow that timing. Short days concentrate it into a narrow window.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. For a change of water, Gillis Pond is 0.6 miles distant. Confirm access to Lake Fanny locally before you travel.
