Central Florida is big fishing country! What was once good sport has become even better, thanks to widespread catch-and-release practices. There are a great many fish species, ranging from prehistoric-appearing gars to sporty little panfish that will bite just about anything from a fly popper to a good old worm. And the bass fishing here is about the best Florida fishing there is. Trophy-size catches are a common occurrence when bass fishing in Marion County, keeping anglers coming back to tackle these waters year after year.
