• Where to Fish on Montgomery County State Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. 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. Public occurrence data for Montgomery County names flathead catfish, pealip redhorse, gizzard shad and green sunfish. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. The shape of Montgomery County State Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 32°F in January up to 80°F in July. The calendar is generous: something works in nearly every month. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. That is the shape of the year on Montgomery County State Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Public data records a boat ramp half a mile out. A car park sits roughly 160 yards away. There is a jetty half a mile off, worth knowing on a busy day. Facilities include toilets around half a mile from here. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Should this one be busy, Elk City Lake is 8.9 miles off. Confirm access to Montgomery County State Lake locally before you travel.
