Lake Terrell is shallow and provides excellent largemouth bass fishing. There is lots of cover for the fish in Lake Terrell including lily pads, brush and weeds that can make fishing challenging at times but can also provide cover for large fish. In the springtime the water level is usually high so boat fishing is good. Later in the summer the water level usually drops significantly so weeds and brush can become troublesome for boating.

Plastic worms and lures, Buzzbaits, Spinner baits, and Plastic frogs are popular fishing lures.

Lake Terrell also gets stocked with about 800 triploid trout in the springtime. The triploid range in the 1 to 1.5 pound range and can put up quite a fight.

Lake Terrell is located near Ferndale and can be accessed off Mountain View Rd. There is public access and a boat launch.
