Hi Nigel,
My guess is that it's Lake Moultrie or Lake Marion, which were created
years ago for sport fishing. This is fairly common in the states where
dams are built to create lakes. Other examples in South Carolina and
Georgia are Lake Hartwell, Lake Keowee, and Lake Lanier just to name a
few.
I have a friend who is fighting the US Corps of Engineers to prevent
them from building a dam that would probably flood his property. The
Corps must now write an environmental impact report, which will be used
to decide whether or not the project should go forward. The lakes
mentioned above were created during the infancy of the environmental
movement and I suspect that such projects would have a much tougher time
being approved now that we have watchdog environmental groups.

Last Friday, UK network television showed a programme about angling
which
included a feature on "a bog in South Carolina which has been turned
into
a lake and stocked with catfish, and now attracts anglers from all over
the
world". I'm afraid I didn't catch the name of the lake, but the
presenter was
passing this (probable) loss of CP habitat as a good thing!
