No fish in this lake.

I have seen lots of reports and pics over the years from round valley. I have fished it at least 30 times. Used shinners, power bait, lures, you name it. Always the same result. Nothing. I've never even had a bite. If you ask me, there's no fish in this lake. It's all fish tales.

I fished there twice through the ice and caught lakers both times. Marked lots of fish. You must be doing something wrong.

Ive fished it like 4 times and only got skunked once, did pretty well the other times. Out of a boat tho, I personally would,nt shore fish the place, i feel like im not fishing if im not in a boat

I just started fishing RV this spring and have yet to get a skunk. I'm new to this freshwater thing and caught keepers every time, all jigging or on the troll. Going tomorrow to see if I can keep my streak going.

Managed to catch my first fish out of there at sun set. After missing to hits finally got one to shore. A small 12" small mouth. Better than nothing.

You can catch everything in that Res from shore this time of year. Easy as apple pie, well sometimes. Lots of fish cruising the shorelines. Maybe you need lighter line! What kinda set up you using? Gotta have a Fluoro leader in that crystal clear water.

Amen,........now through the winter: Browns, rainbows, lakers,………………..& on 11/30 a few years back, a 24” largemouth (came completely out of the water 4’ in front of me to inhale the Yo Zuri).

I haven't done very well there. Tried almost everything. Drifting shiners, vertical jigging, trolling (with and without lead core), casting to the shore and rocks, casting to deeper water. In about 10 outings over the past 5 years I have maybe 2 trout, half a dozen small bass (smallies and large, none bigger than 12 inches) and maybe a few dozen rock bass (I do pretty good with them using a popper at night from shore when I'm camping).

I think one of my problems is that I don't concentrate long enough on a single species. I may go for lakers and if nothing happens in 45 minutes to an hour I start wondering if the browns and rainbows are biting and switch to going after those. If no luck there I'll break out my bass tackle. I'd probably do better if I picked a fish and stuck with it for at least half a day.

Crystal clear with a ton of fishing pressure / traffic means presentation has to be spot on. Light lines, Fluoro leaders, micro cranks on ul, dropshot rigs etc.... It's a tough bite but persistence will be rewarded.

I was there this morning w shiners from shore, 1 hit - 1 fish ....11" smallmouth. Frustrating but I'll be back next chance I get....forever chasing the elusive 5lb+ trout

I only fished RV once at the invitation of a friend from my Trout Unlimited chapter. He fishes the lake quite often and he usually does OK with the lakers and the bass. We were drifting in his boat using live shiners in areas he is familiar with. But unfortunately, we got the skunk.
