Fishing Reports
Allatoona: Level: 8.1 feet below full pool. Temp: 47-52 degrees. Clarity: Stained. Bass: Good. Matt Driver reports, “Think deeper, and think small when it comes to bait selection.

West Point: Level: 1.9 feet below full pool. Temp: Low 60s. Clarity: Heavily stained, but clearing. Bass: Good.
