It probably shouldn’t be a surprise to learn that Douglas Lake in Jefferson County is a dream for anyone who loves fishing. Whether you’re young or old or somewhere in-between, an amateur, a professional, have your own boat and gear or don’t, fishing at Douglas Lake fulfills a type of Appalachian “feeling” that is hard to describe if you’ve never fished in the South or at the foothills of the Smokies and you will absolutely enjoy it! The lake is more than 30,000 acres of water body filled with a handful of different types of fish, interested persons can fish year-round (as their tolerance to winter allows) and fishing tournaments are regularly held several times a year on the lake.

And fishing for them offers better success going out onto the water rather than staying on the docks and shorelines. With such an epic body of water that creates a series of industries for the nearby cities of Sevierville, Dandridge and Kodak offer means for fishermen and fisherwomen to be able to rent or buy boats, fishing rods, tackle boxes, life vests, and everything needed to enjoy a day, night, weekend or maybe more out on the lake.
