Lake Coleman Fishing Guide

Angling Opportunities

Largemouth bass, hybrid striped bass, and flathead catfish fishing are rated good to excellent on this lake. Florida bass were introduced in 1985.

Cover & Structure

Lake Coleman has a rocky shoreline with numerous points and ledges. Standing timber is abundant in the upper half of the reservoir. Black willow trees, brush, and boat docks round out the primary cover and structure.

Tips & Tactics

Lake Coleman is well known for hybrid striped bass fishing, especially during the summer and early fall when hybrids roam in large schools and feed on the surface. Fast moving lures and topwater baits work well. Downrigging and drift fishing with live shad or sunfish are also very effective for hybrids in this reservoir. Largemouth bass fishing is best from September through May. Lake Coleman is an excellent topwater lake for these bass.
