• Where to Fish on Lake Myrtle

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include bluegill, largemouth bass and redbreast sunfish. Use it to know what is possible here, not what is certain. At Lake Myrtle the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 59°F and July at about 82°F, the water has a wide range to work through. There is no cold season worth the name. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. It holds true on Lake Myrtle more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Should this one be busy, Lake Alma is 0.8 miles off. Signs at Lake Myrtle carry more weight than any list.
