Fishing Sardis Lake
Sardis Lake offers one of the best fishing opportunities in the South East. Anglers from around the country annually make the trek to fish our beautiful 32,000 acres. We provide the optimal opportunity to get away from the hustle and bustle, with limited shoreline available to the public for development you can get back to nature somewhere along the miles of uninhabited shoreline. Set back and relax as you plan your strategy on how to catch a largemouth bass, crappie, or catfish. Come join us each January when we place more than 1,000 Christmas trees on the lake bed for artificial fish habitat. It provides great coverage for the fish and keeps the trees out of the landfill. Launch your boat at any of our 8 ramps located around the lake for easy access and remember to wear your Life Jacket!
Fishing tournament organizers are reminded that a Special Event Permit is needed for tournaments larger than 10 boats. A Special Event Permit can be obtained by contacting the Sardis Lake Field Office at 1-662-563-4531.
