Trout anglers will want to target deeper areas near the dam. Bass and bluegill fishing is in full swing. Lake Selmac has an exception to the typical bass regulations in that only 1 bass can be retained here.  

Lake Selmac has its share of non-native aquatic hitchhikers. Boat owners should do their part to remove as much vegetation as possible while leaving the ramp, as well as drain and dry their vessel before using another waterbody.
