Wistaria Lake Fishing in Pasco County, Florida

• Overview

  This water sits in Pasco County, Florida. Around the bank it is warm green lowland. At about 25 acres, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. Nearest place of any size is Land O' Lakes, 2.6 miles away. Connerton is 4.3 miles away, with Lutz at 7 miles. Also within reach: Lake Madeline at 0.6 miles, Lake Thomas just 0.9 miles, Curve Lake at 1 mile, Treasure Lake just 1.2 miles and Bay Lake at 1.2 miles. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Wistaria Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Documented catches and surveys in the area cover bluegill, warmouth and blue tilapia. Reported species tell you what lives around here, nothing more. Wistaria Lake repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 82°F for July and 59°F for January. Nothing shuts down for cold, so the question is when in the day to go. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. That is the shape of the year on Wistaria Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Parking sits half a mile out, which makes for a walk with tackle. Public data records a pier about 0.9 miles out. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Lake Madeline at 0.6 miles is the sensible second choice. None of that is settled for Wistaria Lake in what we hold.
