Triple Lakes in Gasconade County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Triple Lakes sits within Gasconade County in Missouri. This is open valley ground. Surface area runs to about 3 acres — small enough to read in one session. It is a small entry by Gasconade County standards. Supplies mean a trip to Gerald, 3.6 miles off. Further out sit Owensville (7 miles) and Sullivan (16 miles). The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Triple Lakes

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Across Gasconade County, recorded fish include orangethroat darter, longear sunfish, fantail darter and bluegill. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. At Triple Lakes light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 77°F; by January the average is down near 29°F. Mild ends to the year keep the season long. Some winters give nothing at all, so plan for open water. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. That is the shape of the year on Triple Lakes. Barometer swings matter more than a degree or two.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Failing this one, try Herman Huelhorst Reservoir, 4.9 miles away. Confirm access to Triple Lakes locally before you travel.
