This Week's Fishing Report

Week of January 14, 2026

GOOD. Water slightly stained; 61 degrees; 1.30 feet below pool. Bass are starting to migrate shallow for the spawn. A lot of bass are hanging around the rocky areas feeding on crawdads and shad. Alabama rigs and jerk baits have produced larger bass. Sand bass are good on shad in the main basin. Crappie are good on brush piles. Target deep piles by the dam and progressively shallower piles as you move towards the river. Catfish are in deep water feeding below shad. Report by Cade Rudiger, local angler.
