• Where to Fish on Bay Lake Club Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include Rio Grande longear sunfish, redbreast sunfish, spotted bass and white bass. Take it as evidence of what swims here, not a promise for one session. The shape of Bay Lake Club Lake decides where the fish sit.
