Lime Springs Lake, Alabama: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lime Springs Lake sits within Geneva County in Alabama. The country round it is open low country from end to end. Small at around 3 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it.

A county boundary sits nearby, which can matter for local access rules.

• Where to Fish on Lime Springs Lake

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Records collected within a few miles name blackbanded darter, blacktail redhorse, speckled madtom and silverjaw minnow. The list reflects reported sightings and surveys rather than what is stocked. At Lime Springs Lake light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 81°F at the top of summer and 49°F at the bottom of winter. The calendar barely matters here; the time of day does. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. On Lime Springs Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. A slipway is marked about half a mile from here. The car has to stay half a mile away, which shapes how much tackle you bring. One rod, a handful of hooks and floats, and a few small lures are enough for this water. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Neal Spears Lake, 0.4 miles away, makes the obvious fallback.
