EXPERIENCE THE THRILL OF FISHING LAKE
PALESTINE |
| Lake Palestine offers
something for everyone in terms of a
fishery. |
 |
Both white bass and hybrid
striped bass are present; white
bass are particularly popular
during their spring run. Channel
and blue catfishes are abundant
and flathead catfish provide
great opportunity for
trophy-sized fish. With a total
length of 18 miles, 135 miles of
shoreline and an average depth
of 16.25 ft, Lake Palestine
offers plenty of room for
fishing, boating, skiing and
much more! |
|
| The water is clear and with a good
number of coves that provide good
protection from the wind. |
