Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include bluegill, gulf darter and redbreast sunfish. Local agencies hold the definitive list for this water. Work South Paradise Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 42°F and July at about 79°F, the water has a wide range to work through. Long warm spells define the calendar more than any cold.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. For the panfish, a small hook, a float and a piece of worm outfish everything fancy. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Should this one be busy, Beavers Lake is 0.7 miles off.
