Fishing this water
Plan your trip
Interlachen and Grandin are starting points for Lake Ida, Lake Grandin and Boll Green. Putnam Hall and Melrose’s Putnam side are represented by Dick’s Lake, also listed as Kirby Lake, with public access on Kirby Lane. Hollister is part of the nearby west Putnam and Rodman trip area.
Choose the individual lake and its mapped launch before setting out. Violet Lake, Lake Jewell and Church Lake offer hand-launch alternatives. Bring bait and supplies, and check the specific access instructions for your craft. Lake Santa Fe is outside this Putnam-water guide.
Access & launch planning
Boll Green, Lake Grandin and Lake Ida have county-listed boat ramps. FWC identifies Violet Lake, Lake Jewell and Church Lake as hand launches for canoes and kayaks. These are separate lakes. Check posted instructions for shore fishing; ramp access alone does not establish permission to fish from adjacent property.
