Fishing at Triplet Lake, Seminole County, Florida

Rules can differ a short way off, since the county line is near.

• Where to Fish on Triplet Lake

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Records collected within a few miles name swamp darter, bluegill, warmouth, largemouth bass and Florida gar. It is a record of sightings and surveys, so use it as a guide. Triplet Lake gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 82°F; the cold one sits at 60°F. Wet and dry spells shape the year more than temperature. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. Plan any trip to Triplet Lake around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. A slipway is marked about half a mile from here. Parking sits half a mile out, which makes for a walk with tackle. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. The nearest alternative is Lost Lake, 0.4 miles out. Signs at Triplet Lake carry more weight than any list.
