Round Lake near Felida: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  You will find Round Lake in Clark County, Washington. The country here is open plain. The water covers some 45 acres, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. Felida at 2.5 miles is the nearest place to stop. Vancouver is the closest city, 7.5 miles away. Local rules may differ a few miles either side of here. Nothing here demands specialist tackle.

• Where to Fish on Round Lake

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Public occurrence data for Clark County names bluegill, yellow perch, black crappie, brown bullhead and largemouth bass. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. Round Lake gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 66°F for August and 40°F for January. The awkward stretch is midsummer, not midwinter. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. It holds true on Round Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. The closest car park is half a mile away, so pack accordingly. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. The nearest alternative is Curtis Lake, 0.6 miles out. Treat Round Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
