Fishing Opportunities
There are many opportunities for fishing at Lake Johnson. We only ask that you follow our few guidelines.
• Bank fishing is prohibited anywhere around the lake.
• Fishing is permitted from our boardwalk, rental boats, or personal boats.
Bait for Sale
Currently, we offer red wigglers, night crawlers, and crickets. Stop by and see what we have today at the Boardwalk Cafe'!! Bait sales are seasonal (usually March – October).
Fishing Tackle Loaner Program
Want to have fun like you’ve never had before? Go fishing! Whether you’re 8 or 88 years young, you can borrow a rod and reel from us for FREE. It is as easy as checking out a book at the library. When a participant signs up for the program and completes the registration form, the participant will be issued a permanent rod and reel loaner card and may check out a rod and reel for a certain amount of time. The card must be kept in the park office while the participant is borrowing the equipment. If equipment is not returned or returned in poor condition, they will lose their card and benefits. The program is designed to introduce children & adults to the wholesome outdoor activity of angling. Currently 27 states take part in the Fishing Tackle Loaner Program. It allows kids and adults to go fishing anytime of the year, regardless of experience or amount of personal equipment. So, come out, soak up the sunshine, take in the fresh air, and get ready for extra excitement when the big one bites! For additional information, or to gain more experience in the sport of angling, make sure to check out our various fishing classes that are offered.
