Fishing Lindsey Lake in Greenville County, South Carolina

• Overview

  In South Carolina, Lindsey Lake falls inside Greenville County. Height above sea level is 1,033 feet. At 7 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. It is high ground by South Carolina standards. The town to know is Travelers Rest, 1.8 miles out. It is 89 miles to Athens, the nearest city. The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Lindsey Lake

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Public occurrence data for Greenville County names bluegill, redbreast sunfish, seagreen darter and striped jumprock. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. On Lindsey Lake that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 78°F at the top of summer and 40°F at the bottom of winter. The awkward stretch is midsummer, not midwinter. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. At Lindsey Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. The nearest alternative is Glenns Lake, 2.9 miles out. None of that is settled for Lindsey Lake in what we hold.
