Lake Limestone Recreation FISHING Lake Limestone has a plentiful supply of many different species of fish. In early spring, the upper reaches of the lake attract crappie fishermen looking to catch their limits of this favorite pan fish. Later in the spring, anglers seeking to fill their limits for catfish find trot lining, drifting, jugging and rod and reel fishing productive, discovering action from the upper reaches of the lake downstream to the wide-open area just above the dam. During the summer months, the white bass begin to school and chase shad from the lowest reaches of the lake upstream into the area surrounding the FM Road 3371 bridge over the lake. Largemouth bass fishermen will also find Lake Limestone to be a challenge, with both native and Florida strains of bass present.
