• Where to Fish on North Royce Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. At North Royce Lake light and wind decide more than tackle does. Keep back from the edge where the water runs clear.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 82°F, the coldest about 47°F. Temperatures stay workable through the cold season. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to North Royce Lake.
