• Where to Fish on Madison County Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Madison County records list bluegill, green sunfish, tuscumbia darter, warmouth and blackside snubnose darter among the fish reported. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Read Madison County Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. A boat ramp sits 120 yards away, so trailered boats can get on. The nearest car park is 150 yards from the water. A pier 120 yards from here gives a platform over deeper water. Carp respond to sweetcorn or boilies fished patiently on the bottom near feeding areas. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. For a change of water, Mouzon Lake is 15 miles distant. Signs at Madison County Lake carry more weight than any list.
