• Where to Fish on Club Twenty Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Open occurrence data for the surrounding area lists black bullhead, bluegill, dollar sunfish, redbreast sunfish and redear sunfish. Presence in the area does not guarantee a fish on the day. On Club Twenty Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 83°F; the cold one sits at 44°F. Winter is a mild inconvenience here, nothing more. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. The season on Club Twenty Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. If the gate is shut, Metzger Lake at 1.8 miles is the nearest alternative. Check the current arrangement for Club Twenty Lake.
