Lewis Smith Lake
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. The popularity of catfish fishing is partly because of the laid-back style used to catch them, although their willingness to bite a variety of baits helps keep an angler's interest.
Typical catfish baits like chicken liver, worms, hot dogs, and anchovies work well at Lewis Smith Lake.
