    Fishing at Paris Landing

    Paris Landing State Park is an angler's paradise, offering a variety of fishing opportunities that cater to both novice and experienced fishermen.

    From the bank and fishing piers to the expansive waters accessible by boat, the park provides numerous ways to enjoy the sport.

    In the spring, from late March through May, the creek mouths and embayments become hotspots for crappie fishing. Bluegill and redear sunfish are also abundant in the lake, providing great catches throughout the year. Bass fishing reaches its peak during the spring and fall, while catfish are most commonly caught during the summer and fall months.
