Lake Notes:  Specializing in Largemouth Bass, Bluegill, Black Crappie and Shellcracker.  Part of the Kissimmee Chain of lakes.  Expansive stands of native aquatic grasses at Philadelphia Point, North Cove and Brahma Island provide anglers with cover to flip plastic baits or slow-troll golden shiners for spawning bass during the winter and spring.  Rattling crankbaits, soft jerkbaits and Texas- or Carolina-rigged plastic worms fished in open-water or along edges of vegetation are productive during summer and fall.  Fly fishermen have good success wade fishing along the miles of shoreline on Lake Kissimmee.  Lake Kissimmee is rich with wildlife, including bald eagles, white tailed deer, bobcats and turkeys.
