Conditions
: Lake Wateree: Bass: FLW fisherman Dearal Rodgers of Camden reports that in January fish will still be in steep areas with access to deep water, but with the spawn approaching they should start to feed up. Crankbaits, worms and jigs fished around rock should catch fish. Crappie: Veteran tournament angler Will Hinson of Cassatt reports that, depending upon water conditions, in January most of the Wateree crappie should be caught tight-lining minnows and jigs along the river channel. Late this month some of the shallower creeks could also turn on. Catfish: Captain Rodger Taylor (803-517-7828) reports that in January catfish on Lake Wateree should be mixed between shallow and deep. A general pattern can be to anchor in deep water early and then try the shallows later in the day when the water warms. Reported by: SCDNR |

About: -
Lake Wateree is a 13,250 acre man-made lake.
It is known for crappie, bass, catfish and bream in one of South Carolina's
oldest man-made lakes. With more than 13,000 surface acres and 242 miles of
shoreline, the lake is a year-round favorite of campers, fishermen and
recreational boaters. Public access is provided through a number of public boat
ramps and Lake Wateree State
Recreation Area.
The 238-acre parks offerings include a tackle shop/park store with refueling
dock and public boat ramp. A large population of crappie, bream, largemouth
bass, catfish and later, striped bass, has made the lake a popular fishing spot
since the dam was built in 1919 (making it one of the states
oldest).
The parks wooded, lakeside campground has 72 sites, including
many that can accommodate large RVs and all with water and electrical service.
Day visitors and campers also can enjoy the numerous picnic tables, playground
and the mile-long nature trail through the quiet woods.
