Lake Leon Fishing Guide

Angling Opportunities

Lake Leon offers some of the best fishing in the area. Most known for its largemouth bass tournament fishing, the reservoir also supports excellent populations of channel catfish, sunfish, and white bass. Florida largemouth bass were introduced in 1975.

Cover & Structure

For the angler that prefers a variety of fishing cover, Lake Leon is the place to fish. There are boat docks, standing timber, creek channels, aquatic vegetation, rocky areas, riprap, and brush.

Tips & Tactics

For largemouth bass, whatever lures or patterns you like to fish, you can do it at Lake Leon. White bass catches are up the river in the spring during wet springs or in the lower end of the reservoir on large sandy flats, particularly around the bulrush island.
