Alcohol and Drug Abuse Lake Fishing Guide, Richland County, South Carolina

• Overview

  You will find Alcohol and Drug Abuse Lake in Richland County, South Carolina. It sits at 322 feet above sea level. At about 62 acres, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. About 1.3 miles of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. Few waters listed in Richland County are bigger. Nearest place of any size is Dentsville, 2.5 miles away. Further out sit Woodfield (4 miles) and Forest Acres (5 miles). The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Alcohol and Drug Abuse Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Records collected within a few miles name bluegill, redbreast sunfish, largemouth bass, brown bullhead and white catfish. Check the state or provincial list before planning around one species. Treat Alcohol and Drug Abuse Lake as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 81°F and January about 44°F. Warm months push fish deep; cool months bring them back. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. Plan any trip to Alcohol and Drug Abuse Lake around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. There is a car park half a mile from the bank. A platform or pier sits within half a mile. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. For a change of water, Moores Pond is 1.4 miles distant. None of that is settled for Alcohol and Drug Abuse Lake in what we hold.
