Fishing Creek isn’t a particularly big lake, but its crappie fishing is second to none in May.
Fishing Creek Lake is a Duke Energy reservoir on the Catawba River that was impounded in 1916. The lake has 3,431surface acres of water and 61 miles of shoreline. Full pond elevation is 417.2 feet.
The lake is mostly a run of the river lake except for the lower end of the lake which widens out and provides excellent fishing for crappie.
