Lake Rond, Louisiana: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lake Rond is a Natchitoches Parish water, in Louisiana. The bank is 118 feet above sea level. The water measures roughly 4 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. On size it sits at the modest end of our Natchitoches Parish list. Colfax is the closest place, 11 miles off. Further out sit Vienna Bend (14 miles) and Natchitoches (18 miles). A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Lake Rond

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Public wildlife records from this area list chub shiner and grass carp. It reflects what has been logged, which depends on who was looking. The shape of Lake Rond rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 83°F and January near 47°F on the long-run figures. The year never really closes; it just gets uncomfortable in summer. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Time your trip to Lake Rond by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Carp respond to sweetcorn or boilies fished patiently on the bottom near feeding areas. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. For a change of water, Chico Lake is 1.3 miles distant. Confirm before you fish Lake Rond.
