Despite a rough, hot summer at Georgia’s fish hatcheries, the WRD’s trout-stocking program is in good shape, and Georgia’s trout anglers have a good season to look forward to thanks to a mild winter and a little help from hatcheries outside the state. “We had a tough time at the end of last summer. July…
The Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) invited all elementary, middle, and high schools enrolled in Georgia’s National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) to the first-ever NASP State Fun Shoot. The event was held February 24 at 12 Point Archery in Covington. Any school with NASP certified instructors was allowed to register as many…
Evans County PFA: Level: Down 3 feet and will remain low through March. Temp.: 50-54 degrees. Clarity: 22 inches. Bass: It was a slow February. With some major cold fronts, the bass bite has been very slow. Bass fishing should only improve during March as the larger fish move shallow to prepare to spawn. Crappie:…
West Point: Level: 5.5 feet below full pool. Temp: 52-53 degrees. Clarity: Clear to light stain. Bass: Good. Bass are moving into a prespawn stage, said guide Paul Parsons. Look for them to start moving onto main-lake points, where small crankbaits will catch them. He suggested a Bandit or a No. 7 Shad Rap. “If…
Weiss: Level: 3.5 feet below full pool. Temp: 48 degrees. Clarity: Main lake is stained. Bass: Warren Barnes said he caught largemouths a week ago halfway back in the creeks by throwing a double Colorado, chartreuse-and-white spinnerbait around any wood cover. The bass have moved back into the coves and cuts looking for slightly warmer…
Sinclair: Level: 1.4 feet below full pool. Temp: 53-58 degrees. Clarity: Light stain. Bass: Good, according to tournament angler and guide Barry Stokes who gave his report from the lake while practicing for a late-February BFL tournament on Sinclair.

Seminole: Level: 0.3 feet above full pool. Temp.: 57 degrees. Clarity: Partially stained. Bass: Fair, said Seminole guide Troy Arthur, who said they are starting to spot a few first-wave bass on the beds. “The majority of fish are still in the deep water in the creek channels. They’re still feeding on shad,” he said.…
Inshore: The trout fishing has slowed down with all the cold weather we have been having, according to Capt. Greg Hildreth. “The trout that are being caught have moved into the deeper holes in 12 to 20 feet and are being taken with boot-tail minnows and lead heads. The most productive colors have been the…
Russell: Level: Down 0.3 feet below full pool. Temp: 48-50 degrees. Clarity: Mostly clear. Bass: Slow for largemouths. After a warm spell, look for shad in the backs of the creeks, and fish spinnerbaits and small crankbaits. When the water temperatures hold above 56 degrees, look for schools of bass to move up on the…
Oconee: Level: Full pool. Temp: 49-50 degrees. Clarity: Stained except south near the dam and Richland Creek. Bass: Tough. Most of the bass are still deep, or they’re in between deep and shallow. There was a good bite at 20 to 30 feet deep on jigging spoons and jig-head finesse worms, but warmer weather means…
