  • Fishing Opportunities on the Ocala National Forest
    FISHING OPPORTUNITIES IN THE OCALA NATIONAL FOREST 1996, 1998, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2018 INTRODUCTION The Ocala National Forest, one of the oldest national forest east of the Mississippi River and southernmost in the continental United States, was established in 1908. The Scenic 387,000-acre National Forest, located in the central trail ridge region of peninsular Florida, is bordered by two prominent rivers, the Ocklawaha River on the western boundary, and the larger St. John’s River on the eastern boundary of the national forest. Within the boundaries of the Ocala National Forest there are about 23 small streams created by a number of springs. The most important springs are Salt, Silver Glen, Juniper, and Alexander. In addition, there are approximately 600 natural lakes in the forest. Most of these are seepage lakes formed by solution depressions. Since these lakes have no significant surface inflow or outfall, water quality is influenced by direct precipitation and soil characteristics of the immediate watershed. The majority of these water bodies are therefore very acidic, poorly buffered, and low in nutrient concentration and productivity. However, forest lakes have historically been recognized as habitat for prime trophy largemouth bass, with bass larger than 10 pounds having been taken from most, if not all, of these lakes. Other sport fish species, including bluegill, red-ear, warmouth, black crappie, catfish, and sunshine bass, are popular with the local anglers. Most anglers fish from boats, but there are opportunities for shoreline, bank or wade fishing. Because access is limited and often difficult, fishing piers have been constructed on several popular lakes.
