     Lake Jocassee is 7,565 acres located in the Northwest corner of South Carolina in Oconee and Pickens Counties, 35 miles from Greenville.

     Surrounded by mountains and waterfalls, the most popular being Whitewater Falls and Laurel Creek Falls, the water comes directly from cold, clear, protected Appalachian streams. Lake Jocassee's maximum depth of 326 feet and  crystal clear water is excellent for trout fishing. Lake Jocassee holds the state record for brown and rainbow trout.

 Sam Jones, of Anytime Fishing Guide Service, has fished Lake Jocassee for over 20 years. He specializes in catching brown and rainbow trout-year round. He also offers lake tours and fishing and lake tour combination trips. Call Sam at (864) 350-9056 or (864) 242-2061 to make reservations to fish and tour this beautiful lake or email  at:
