Walker County Lake is a 163 acre lake located 3 miles southeast of Jasper off US Highway 78 in Jasper, Alabama. Fishing: Largemouth bass fishing is good year-round, with the biggest usually caught from February through April when they are near the bank. Bluegill (bream) and redear sunfish (shellcracker) are caught by bank and boat anglers from spring through summer. Channel catfish are caught year-round, but the summer months are best. Crappie fishing is best in February through April. Facilities: Clean public restrooms and concessions are available, including a wide variety of fishing tackle, live and artificial baits, and other fishing supplies, as well as drinks and refreshments. An accessible fishing pier makes it easy to reach deeper water without using a boat. Fish attractors have been added around the lake. Boats are also available for rent; a launching ramp is available for anglers with their own boats. Boats may have an outboard motor attached, and anglers may use the outboard motor at trolling speed (no wake). Picnic pavilions are available (may be reserved for $20); contact the lake manager.
