Paradise Lake Fishing in Sumner County, Kansas

• Overview

  Set in Sumner County, Kansas, this is Paradise Lake. The country here is open valley. Small at around 14 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. Conway Springs sits 9.3 miles from the bank. Then Harper, 13 miles, and Cheney, 19 miles. Round about: Anthony Municipal Lake 18 miles away, Wellington Lake 18 miles, Christopher Lake 19 miles away, Lake Waltanna 20 miles and Lake Afton 20 miles away. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Paradise Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Records held for Sumner County cover common carp, bluegill, flathead catfish and orangethroat darter. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Read Paradise Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 82°F on average, January about 31°F. In milder years the surface never sets. In milder years the edges alone go, and the middle never sets. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Paradise Lake fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Failing this one, try Anthony Municipal Lake, 18 miles away. Check the position at Paradise Lake before loading the car.
