Sparkling Water Lake Fishing near Clermont, Florida

• Overview

  Look for Sparkling Water Lake in Lake County, Florida. The setting is open low country. The water measures roughly 4 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else.

This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Sparkling Water Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Biodiversity records within roughly six miles include largemouth bass, bluegill, redear sunfish, warmouth and Florida gar. The records cover the area rather than this water alone. The near bank of Sparkling Water Lake is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 82°F and January near 59°F on the long-run figures. There is no cold season worth the name. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. At Sparkling Water Lake the season follows that pattern closely.
