Guide To Fishing At Seneca Lake
AKA: Senecaville Lake

Offering fishing, boating, and water sport activities, Seneca Lake is a 3,500-acre reservoir in the east-central part of Ohio. With 45 miles of shoreline to fish and explore by boat or from shore, there is plenty of fishing for everyone.
And, there is a wide variety if fish species here to catch. Hybrid striped bass are a favorite, and the lake also offers fishing for catfish, crappie, bass, white bass, bluegill and saugeye. When the fish are shallow in spring and fall, focus on shallow cover of aquatic vegetation, brush and boat docks. In winter and summer follow the schools of baitfish to deeper water around islands, creek channels, ledges and points to find schooling fish feeding on the bait. Two boat ramps and a marina provide assistance to boat owners, and there are rental boats available at the marina. Kayaks and canoes are a convenient way to explore and fish smaller sections of the lake. Pleasure boats, pontoons and fishing boats are better suited for covering vast areas of this large impoundment. Camping and lodging options are situated all around the lake.
