Lake Guntersville State Park Fishing & Boat Rentals
Lake
Guntersville
State
Park
is nestled along the banks of the 69,000-acre
Guntersville Reservoir. The park offers perfect fishing
opportunities year-round with overnight accommodations
ranging from lakeside camp sites and cottages, to
mountain-top chalets and hotel rooms. The lake is
popular for fishing tournaments, family outings, and the
individual avid fisherman and woman. Whether fly fishing
from the shallow banks or taking to a boat and scouting
out a private cubby hole, you will find fishing from Lake Guntersville
to be both a relaxing and rewarding experience.
The sport fisherman will enjoy the
wide variety of fish found in this body of water all
four seasons. White bass thrive in the tributary streams
and are the main attraction in the months of February
and March. Largemouth bass and crappie become the
dominant fishes during the months of April, May, and
June. Mayflies begin hatching during June luring
bluegills to appear in creels until August. Sauger
fishing is good at the head of the lake during the fall
and winter months.
Crappie is the top ranking sport
fish and it accounts for more than half of the catch
from these waters. It, along with Bass, can be harvested
in the fall season from the deeper waters. Bass find
casting and spinning lures attractive while Bluegills go
for worms and crickets used on the lake bottom. Popping
bugs and a fly rod are usually successful in luring Bass
and Bluegill. Fishing for White Bass is most exciting
during the month of June when Mayflies are hatching.
