Mountain Lake is a lake in Hernando County, Florida.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Anglers looking at Hernando County will find Mountain Lake, a lake; I would give one easy-to-read piece of water a fair chance and resist moving until I get a useful clue from the first adjustment. A first trip should leave me with something specific, so I would stay around one manageable piece of water until I see enough in the first few casts.
Published figures put Mountain Lake at about 120.1 surface acres, so I would use those numbers to decide how large an area to fish while I fish one nearby piece of water until I see enough in the nearby water.
The fish community recorded at Mountain Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Bowfin, Chain Pickerel, Florida Gar, Redear Sunfish, and Warmouth, which makes one main target a practical way to start around one short section of bank until I see enough in the opening stretch. Crappie anglers at Mountain Lake can keep it simple with a small jig and a live-minnow setup around one sheltered section of bank, adjusting only when I get a clear read from the first area.
My first plan for Mountain Lake would be to fish one straightforward shoreline stretch deliberately and change one variable at a time only after I get a clear read from the first adjustment. When I learn something from the first few casts, I would stay around one promising shoreline stretch on Mountain Lake and build the rest of the trip around that pattern. If I learn something from the nearby water, I would count that as a successful first visit and come back to Mountain Lake with one manageable section of water already on the short list.
