Comments: Lake Stamford is popular for largemouth bass, white crappie and catfish. The lake sustains good populations of all these sport fish. Lake Stamford is a power plant lake, and winter fishing can be good. Trotlining is a popular technique for catfish at this lake. Most white crappie and largemoth bass are caught in bulrush. However, don't count out th rocky shoreline on the south side and around the power plant. Full camping and RV facilities are available. Florida largemouth bass were introduced in 1977. | |
