About 15 sport fish species can be caught in Lake Springfield. Fishing is allowed either from boats on the water or from any public portion of the shoreline. All fishers and their lines must remain at least 100 feet away from any leased residential property unless permission to fish closer has been given by the lease-holder. More information about regulations relating to fishing on Lake Springfield can be found on the Fishing Rules page of this website.

For the convenience of fishers, there are two posted public fishing areas: at the Dividing Dam and the Sunset View Fishing Area (on East Lake Drive just south of the zoo turnoff). In addition, there is an unposted fishing pier between East and West Tom Madonia Parks, which is also designed for persons with disabilities.
