Sam Williams said the schooling you’d expect to see this time of year has been sporadic because of the fronts moving through, but the fish are still biting — just not on top. “They’ve gone back to hitting…
Clarks Hill: Level: 5.7 feet below full pool. Temp: 71 degrees. Clarity: Pretty clear for a lake that is turning over. Bass: Good.

Allatoona: Level: 7 feet below full pool. Temp: 68-73 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Good. Matt Driver reports, “Things are changing due to the lake beginning turnover.
