NC State Offers Public Fishing Opportunity
Raleigh Lake on the Centennial Campus of North Carolina State University is open once again after the dam was breeched during hurricane Fran in 1996. This is one of many community fishing sites across the state and can accommodate anglers with non motorized boats and those who shore fish. There are two floating piers that are handicap accessible as well as a boat launch and a dock. Crews cleared limbs and debris prior to the reopening to help anglers to avoid tangling lines. Raleigh Lake is stocked with Bass, Channel Cats, Crappie, and Sun Fish.
Additional Info;
The lake is open from sunrise to sunset, seven days a week, and state harvest regulations apply: no limit on crappie, bluegill and other sunfish; a 5-fish-per-day creel limit on largemouth bass 14 inches and longer, except that two may be less than 14 inches. Anglers ages 16 and over must have an inland fishing license.
In addition to providing fishing and non-motorized boating opportunities, Lake Raleigh, along with its surrounding wetlands, will be used by the university and the Commission for fisheries research and management, as well as education and outreach programming.
For more information on Lake Raleigh access and user guidelines, call the university’s Centennial Campus Development Office at (919) 513-7961.
