Frequently asked questions
- What special fishing regulations apply at Lake Robinson (Lynches River)?
- Lake Robinson (Lynches River) carries one special-regulation overlay that overrides South Carolina's statewide 2026 rules. It reads: "Pee Dee region cooling reservoir — largemouth 5 / day combined black bass (statewide any-length unless posted); crappie 20 / day, 8 in min." Every overlay on this water body is listed in full above.
- Do I need a fishing license to fish Lake Robinson (Lynches River)?
- Yes. Lake Robinson (Lynches River) is in South Carolina, so a valid South Carolina fishing license is required just as it is anywhere else in the state, issued by South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. The special regulations on this page change the bag, size, slot, or gear rules for Lake Robinson; they do not waive the license requirement. Free-fishing days and youth exemptions follow the statewide South Carolina rules.
- Do Lake Robinson (Lynches River)'s special rules replace South Carolina's statewide limits?
- Only where they conflict. South Carolina's statewide 2026 regulations apply on Lake Robinson by default; the overlays above replace the matching statewide rule for the species or gear they name, while everything not specifically overridden still follows the statewide rule. When a water-body rule and the statewide rule disagree, the water-body rule wins.
