Lake Walk In Water Florida

(Also known as Lake Weohyakapka)

Closest Town:  Alcoma, Florida

Lake Size:  7,532 Acres

Public Boat Access:  Located off S.R. 60 & Lake Walk-In-Water Rd in Frostproof

Lake Notes:  Specializing in Largemouth Bass, Bluegill and Black Crappie.  National reputation as an outstanding spot to catch largemouth bass.  The lake also produces many trophy bass exceeding 10 pounds each year. A 15- to 24-inch slot limit regulation and a three-bass daily bag limit are in place to help maintain quality bass fishing.  Typically, the best technique to catch trophy bass is to drift live wild shiners over hydrilla weed beds in the northern half of the lake.  Soft jerkbaits, lipless rattling crankbaits, and plastic worms also produce bass in areas of offshore hydrilla.  Angling techniques may have to be altered during 2005 because the 2004 hurricanes temporarily cleared most of the hydrilla from the lake.  Pitching live wild shiners and flipping soft plastic baits in the bulrush (“buggy whips” or “round rush”) and cattails in the northern and eastern areas of the lake has been successful.  Spinnerbaits should also produce bass in the bulrush and cattail stands.  Bass were concentrated in these areas during the fall.  Remaining hydrilla beds in the cove south of the boat landing will hold good numbers of fish as well.  Topwater lures are also productive, particularly chuggers or the walk-the-dog types of baits.  Although topwater baits catch fish throughout the year, summer months offer the best action when schools of bass roam deep-water areas.  Bass should become less concentrated on the shoreline as off shore hydrilla beds grow back through the summer.
