Madison County Lake Temporarily Closed
The Alabama Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries (WFF) announces
that
Madison
County
Lake is temporarily closed due to
the resignation of Lake Manager Carole Brewer. The lake will re-open in the
near future under the management of Allen Smallwood of
Gurley,
Ala.
Madison
County
Lake is located 11 miles east of
Huntsville and is popular with anglers for
bass, bream, catfish and rainbow trout. Trout season at the lake begins the
day after Thanksgiving each year, when the fish are stocked in a 1½-acre
area of the lake. Trout are also stocked in December and January. WFF
anticipates the trout season will proceed without interruption. For
questions about the lake closing, call the Fisheries Section at
334-242-3471.
