Oconee: Level: Full pool. Temp: By the time this report is printed, the lake temps will be in the mid 80s or higher due to our heat wave and lack of rain.

Allatoona: Level: Full pool. Temp: 68 degrees. Clarity: Slight stain. Bass: Tournament angler Matt Driver reports, “The month of May on Allatoona is a fun one.

Clarks Hill: Level: 1 foot low. Temp: Upper 60s to low 70s. Clarity: Beginning to clear back up from the rains and the rise in water level.

As always, live shrimp under an adjustable float or popping cork works like a…
Chatuge: Level: 1 foot above full. Temp: 66-68 degrees. Clarity: Clear. Bass: Guide Eric Welch reports, “Most the fish are about done spawning. There are a few late spawners hanging around in the pockets and creeks. Try throwing a Strike King 3.75 Rage Swimmer along with a wacky-rigged Senko. There are a lot of spotted bass hanging out around…
Weiss: Level: 0.2 feet below full pool. Temp: 68-70 degrees. Clarity: Stained.
