About this water

Lake Jocassee is a deep, cold, oligotrophic reservoir in the Blue Ridge foothills known for its exceptional trout and landlocked striped bass fishery. The lake's cold, clear water supports brown trout, rainbow trout, and lake trout, making it unique among South Carolina waters. Boat access is available at Devils Fork State Park, and trolling deep with spoons or live bait is the preferred technique.
