Round Lake Fishing in Clark County, Washington

• Overview

  Clark County, Washington, is where Round Lake sits. Beyond the shoreline you have dry hill. Around 28 acres of surface means several distinct areas to work. By elevation it sits in the lower part of our Washington listings. Camas lies 1.1 miles from the water. Gresham sits 7.5 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. Rules can differ a short way off, since the county line is near.

• Where to Fish on Round Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Reported across Clark County: bluegill, yellow perch and black crappie. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Read Round Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect August to average close to 66°F, with January the cold end at about 39°F. The season runs year-round, with the peak either side of summer. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. At Round Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. A car park sits roughly half a mile away. There is a jetty half a mile off, worth knowing on a busy day. There are picnic tables half a mile away. Facilities include toilets around half a mile from here. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Should this one be busy, Mill Pond is 0.1 miles off. Nothing on Round Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
