I have fished Madison County Lake for a while now, it is my retreat from every thing. The fishing is GREAT the year round and I might add that as a woman I feel safer there than anywhere I have fished,the people that run the place are wonderful and keep the lake up very well.I would recomend Madison Co. Lake to anyone, for family outings or just to get away and have a little quiet time for your self.

Nice lake but hard to find a fishing spot that is not crowded. Got snagged on structure or rocks a lot. Really need to rent a boat to get to the other side of the lake where the fishing would probably be better. Losts of Bluegill for the kids

State run lake, stocked, Largemouth bass, Striped Bass, Catfish, Crappie, Sunfish Bluegill, Shellcracker. You must pay a small fee to fish, but the fish you catch are free to take home. The fishing is good, sometimes great, depends on time of year or day. I have fished this lake since 1994 and have never failed to catch fish, have caught daily limit of Crappie 30 a day more than once, and have caught some very nice Catfish as well. During the winter months, they have a small pond area that they stock with Rainbow trout. Once again, small fee to fish but the fish are free. I have caught the daily limit of 5 fish every time I have fished for trout. Excellent place to take children fishing, almost a sure thing that they will catch a fish. If you live in this area of Alabama you should check it out, you should have a real nice time.

This lake is always overcrowded. It is generally well kept, but due to the number of people it gets no more than 2 stars.

Not a bad lake. Johnboats with trolling motors for rent onsite. Baitshop also. 2 dollars a day lake permit required from Baitshop. Pretty clean and quiet place. Stocked with catfish, and they stock trout part of the year. Bass, Bluegill and Shellcracker are also stocked. Nice lake, but the only downside is it can get crowded. I hate that because I'm trying to get away from people, not closer to them when I go fishing.

Often too crowded. Crappie are too small, brim are too abundant, and bass are too picky. Don't bother going unless you want to catch catfish.
