Edward Medard Reservoir fishing and current access
Edward Medard Reservoir is a reclaimed phosphate mine lake in Hillsborough County near Plant City and Brandon. The FWC reservoir guide describes a 770-acre fishery with irregular bottom contours, shoreline vegetation, largemouth bass, stocked sunshine bass and channel catfish. Ledges and bars offer open-water targets; shoreline grass is worth checking for bass during cooler periods. Adjust tactics to current conditions and water levels.
Boat ramp closure
The park’s public boat ramp is closed until further notice because of low reservoir water levels. Both Hillsborough County’s park notice and FWC describe the closure. Bank fishing and self-propelled craft opportunities remain, subject to park conditions. Check the county notice on the day of your visit before hauling a boat; the ramp will reopen only when water levels are safe. The park provides other recreation facilities, with its own current hours and fees.
Plan a freshwater trip
Bluegill, redear and black crappie can add variety, with presentations changing through the seasons. Review FWC fishing regulations before heading out. For another area destination, compare Florida lake guides or browse the Tampa area. This page has no confirmed reservoir-specific booking product.
