Sport Fishing

The vegetation and brush surrounding our lakes make excellent homes for largemouth bass. Anglers catch so may here in Central Florida's Polk County, that we’ve earned the title the “Largemouth Bass Capital of the World”

With more than 550 freshwater lakes and numerous rivers and flooded phosphate pits, you’ll catch other varieties of sweet tasting freshwater fish as well. Bluegill (bream), crappie (speckled perch) and catfish are also found in our waters.
