About Rhodhiss Lake
Lake Rhodhiss is located between Lake James and Lake Hickory and covers an area of 2.2 million square kilometres. The surrounding mountain peaks and wildlife, combined with the extended tranquility of Rhod, make up the beauty of the lake.
About three quarters of the lake's watershed is wooded and only three percent is cultivated, making it a good choice for those who just want to relax in the bosom of nature. In total, there are 1.2 million square kilometres of water in Rhodhiss, and about three quarters of it is forested.
Lake Rhodhiss is filled with a dam and hydroelectric power plant built by Duke Energy in 1925. The dam is one of the largest of its kind in the United States and the second largest in North Carolina.
Duke Energy continues to control all water consumption, including the flow of water from the lake to the power plant and the water supply to its customers. Duke provides most of Lake Rhodhiss's electricity and all of its water supply. Visitors can enjoy the leisure activities of the lakes and enjoy the water that remains constant throughout the year.
Most of the spring water in the lake is classified as trout water of exceptional quality; it is even considered the densest fish resource in the Catawba Lakes. Several major tributaries flow into the waters of Rhodhiss Lake, including the Black River, Cataws River and Green River. The marina offers a variety of leisure activities such as fishing, boating, kayaking, canoeing, swimming and fishing.
Although Lake Rhodhiss is a productive lake, anglers report that it is not particularly under fishing pressure, making it an ideal location for small and medium-sized fish. Among the most attractive types belong big-perch, blueperch, redfish, black-perch, whitefish and blueperch. The bighorn perches in particular are exceptionally large, weighing up to 10 pounds, and can cause serious health problems for fish in the lake.
