• Where to Fish on Roberts Lake

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Take Roberts Lake a stretch at a time. Approach from downwind so your line does not land ahead of you.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 81°F, while January sits near 48°F. Fishing runs all year, with summer the awkward season. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. That shapes the year on Roberts Lake.
