Comments: Lake Cisco, impounded
on Sandy Creek, is very scenic. The steep-sided nature of Lake Cisco allows
for windy-weather fishing. Bluegill and redear sunfish populations are abundant,
and some good sized panfish are present. Catfish abundance is typically
low. Laregmouth bass are fairly numerous. Largemouth bass can be caught
at the lower end in deep water associated with rocky points, bluffs and
large boulders, and shallow water of the north arm and Sandy Creek, especially
in the fall, winter, and spring. Fall bass fishing with buzzbaits can be
heart stopping. Smallmouth bass were reintroduced in 1994 and are protected
with an 18 inch minimum length and 3 fish daily bag limit. Smallmouth bass
should expand into the abundant rocky habitat located at the dam end of
Lake Cisco. White crappie populations vary yearly, and abundance ranges
from poor to fair. Some good-sized crappie are caught in the spring. A few
hybrid striped bass remain from stockings in the early 1980's. Public shore
fishing access is limited to the area around the boat ramp. Florida largemouth
bass were introduced in 1991. |
