Lake Price Fishing Guide, Orange County, Florida

• Overview

  Orange County, Florida, is where Lake Price sits. Land around it is scrub and brush. With some 88 acres of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. The bank runs about 1.3 miles all the way round, so one visit can cover most of it. Supplies mean a trip to Alafaya, 3.2 miles off. Chuluota is 4.4 miles and Bithlo 5.1 miles. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Lake Price

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Biodiversity records within roughly six miles include bluegill, spotted sunfish, warmouth, largemouth bass and redbreast sunfish. The list reflects reported sightings and surveys rather than what is stocked. Lake Price fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 82°F in July and bottom out at 59°F in January. Every month fishes, though midsummer narrows the useful hours. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lake Price.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. A carry of half a mile from the nearest parking is the price of fishing here. There are toilets mapped about half a mile away. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. For a change of water, Lake Tanner is 1.7 miles distant. None of that is settled for Lake Price in what we hold.
