Tags. Please type in a Lake Name, Species of Fish etc:
  • There is two parts to Goldwater Lake Upper and Lower. As far as I know you can only drive to upper on pavement. Lower Goldwater is made from the runoff of the dam at upper. Upper Goldwater Lake is were you would go to rent boats or camp in a RV. This is a real scenic Lake that has trails wrapping around the entire lake that you can use to access all areas for fishing. You can catch largemouth, crappie, sunfish and catfish at both; if your lucky.

    Goldwater was stocked the week of February 6th. The next stocking is tentatively scheduled for the week of March 6th. Try several colors of power bait and power eggs and if you don’t get bites try night crawlers or small spinners. They are a great option if you are not getting bites with other baits. Jonathan reports that he has success using orange and yellow power bait eggs on about a 12 to 18 inch leader. Small spinners work very well also. Michael reports that 1½ inch Crappie Tubes & Acme Castmasters lures work very well on the trout. This is the second time he has reported method in the last couple weeks.
