Lake Blue Ridge Fishing Reports – December 2020

Blue Ridge: Level: 13 feet below full pool. Temp: 60-62 degrees. Clarity: Clear.

Bass: Guide Eric Welch reports, “Fishing has been tough. The rain that we’ve had throughout the month has brought the lake up, and TVA has pulled it back down fast. Along with the cold fronts which has helped drop the water temps, the lake has just not been stable or consistent, so the fish are at all depths and scattered. I hope this month the lake temp will get down in the mid 50s and the lake will stay at one level. We’ve just been running around the main body of the lake fishing points, rocky banks and steep banks. The baits we’ve been throwing have been a drop shot with a 4.5-inch worm, a shaky head, a Z-man Ned rig and Flex-It spoons. I’ve really not seen any topwater action the past month. I have been trying to throw jerkbaits, swimbaits and A-rigs but have not had much luck. It’s just a waiting game until everything gets in place.”
