Rodman Reservoir
Reservoir Size: Rodman Reservoir covers some 9,600 acres, and it is about 15 miles long and up to 2 miles wide near the dam.
How it was Created: A 7,200 foot-long earth fill dam was built across the Ocklawaha River, just west of the Buckman Lock to impound water for the reservoir. A four-gate spillway, built into the dam, controls the water elevation in the reservoir.
Current Water Depth: Water in the reservoir near Rodman Dam is maintained at about 18 feet above mean sea level. Natural terrain slopes upward toward the upstream (Eureka) end of the pool. When maintained at 18 feet above sea level the backwater effect of the reservoir ends about 2 miles downstream of Eureka Lock.
These facts totaled together have produced some of the best fishing Floirda. From recreational fishing to Tournament fishing nothing beats fishing at Rodman.
