FISHING AND CAMPING
Rainbow trout are stocked seasonally at Lewis Smith Lake and, at times, the fishing for them is absolutely amazing!
Trout stocking will resume Fall 2019.
Both channel and flathead catfish swim the depths of Lewis Smith Lake, and anglers can just as easily access them from shore as they can a boat.
