A number of Anglers enjoy the variety of fish that live in Lake Orange’s water.  

Thomas Bowman caught a “Monster” Largemouth Bass in May 2022.  The fish’s weight was estimated to be between 9 and 10 lbs.!!

 

The majority of boats on Lake Orange are kayaks, small fishing boats, and pontoon boats.  Some younger folks enjoy standup paddle boards and there is an occasional water skier.  Everyone should be mindful that there are many shallow spots and submerged tree trunks to avoid.
