• Where to Fish on Lake Casa Blanca

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Documented catches and surveys in the area cover channel catfish, Florida largemouth bass, largemouth bass and walleye. Local agencies keep the authoritative list for each water. Fish Lake Casa Blanca where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 87°F on average, January about 56°F. Fish feed through every month here. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Plan around that when you fish Lake Casa Blanca. After heavy rain, give the water a day to settle.
