Randleman Lake stands as a premier fishing destination in North Carolina, celebrated for its thriving Largemouth Bass fishery. This 3,007-acre reservoir, created in 2010, combines abundant shoreline structure and vegetation with carefully managed waters to create exceptional angling opportunities. As a water supply lake, it enforces a 25 mph speed limit and prohibits overnight fishing, ensuring sustainable fisheries while maintaining a peaceful environment.
The lake’s northern boundary extends to the Highway 62 bridge, with designated no-fishing zones marked by buoys. Anglers can access the water via two ramps: the south ramp accommodates motorized boats (with speed restrictions), while the north ramp is reserved for paddle craft and electric motors. Shoreline fishing is available at designated bank sites and a universally accessible pier, offering diverse approaches for all skill levels.
Randleman’s reputation for trophy-sized Largemouth Bass draws regional and national attention, though the ecosystem supports multiple species. The lake’s young age and strategic management contribute to consistent catches, with healthy populations benefiting from both native and stocked fish. Its proximity to Greensboro makes it a convenient yet immersive escape, where anglers experience productive fishing against a scenic backdrop of the Deep River basin.
