Comments:Lake Graham is a power plant lake. The hot water discharge is located in the Lake Eddleman part of the lake. This is an excellent area during the winter, especially for hybrid striped bass and white bass. The lake supports good populations of hybrid striped bass and white bass as well as catfish. Populations of white crappie and largemouth bass are inconsistent. Public access is limited. Florida largemouth bass were introduced in 1979. | |
