7500 Acre Lake near Salem, South Carolina

Deep, clear and cold describe Jocassee to a tee. That means the main target is Trout.  Taken with bait or trolling there are some monster Browns, Rainbows, and Brooks roaming the lake. Numerous tournaments are held during the cooler months of the year. Jocassee also offers a good Smallmouth Bass and Largemouth Bass fishery.
