Fultons Lake is a public lake in Shelby County, Alabama, managed by Alabama DCNR / Wildlife & Freshwater Fisheries. It is public water managed for fishing by the Alabama Department of Conservation & Natural Resources.
Public lakes across the Southeast typically hold largemouth and other black bass species, bream (bluegill and redear/shellcracker sunfish), black and white crappie, and blue, channel and flathead catfish -- species commonly documented across the region's public waters by state wildlife agencies.
Fultons Lake covers about 16 acres in the Central Alabama region. The nearest other mapped waters on PiscaMaps are Kimberly Clark Lake and Buck Creek.
Anyone 16-64 needs an Alabama fishing licence — resident annual freshwater is about $14, non-resident annual about $56, and non-resident 7-day (~$32) and 1-day (~$12) licences are sold. There is no trout stamp — the freshwater licence covers the Sipsey Fork, Alabama's only trout water. A Wildlife Management Area licence is needed to fish WMA lakes and streams. Alabama residents 65+ fish free with a Senior exemption. Buy from Outdoor Alabama. An Alabama fishing licence covers this water. The border reservoirs — Eufaula/Walter F. George and West Point (GA), Weiss (headwaters in GA), Pickwick (MS/TN) — are fished lake-wide on a licence from any of the adjoining states.
Every water carries species, bank & boat access, current regulations and live water conditions — and members get Swim Mapper, Catch Logger and Trip Planner. It's the only US map with a dedicated carp-water layer.
