Lower Lake Mary The day use area is closed for the winter season. Campgrounds along the Lake Mary Road corridor are open. The daily bag limit is 4 trout per day and 4 channel catfish per day. Northern pike are unlimited, but must be immediately killed or released. Only boats with a single 10-horsepower motor (or less) or a single electric motor are allowed on Lower Lake Mary. The lake level is very low.

Upper Lake Mary Upper Lake Mary boat launch will remain open all year. The boat docks were to remain in the water until 11/11/2024. The Narrows boat launch was to remain open until 11/11/2024. Starting 10/19/2024 there will be no fees until April. No trash services will be available during the off season, but one toilet will remain open. Statewide limits apply for the fish species in Upper Lake Mary, check your regulations (page 6). Target the edges of the weed line for northern pike and look for rocky shorelines and points for walleye. Anglers have been catching walleye and northern pike trolling nightcrawler harnesses and on lures. Northern pike are active and chasing bait fish at the upper end of the lake (Walnut Canyon inflow). Anglers were finding success with Rat-L-Traps, black-bodied spinnerbaits, and lures with flash and vibration. As lake temperatures drop, slowly trolling a live nightcrawler on a bottom bouncer rig or nightcrawler harness can be very effective.
