• Where to Fish on Rountree Lake

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. The shape of Rountree Lake decides where the fish sit. Cast along the margin rather than straight out from it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 81°F and January about 48°F. Long warm spells define the calendar more than any cold. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. Anyone fishing Rountree Lake regularly works to that calendar.
