Lake Blue Ridge Fishing Report – June 2025

Blue Ridge: Level: 1.5 foot above 1686. Temp: 75-77 degrees. Clarity: Clear.

Bass: Eric Welch, of Welch’s Guide Service, reports, “Fishing is good. Summertime fishing is upon us. We’re starting to see fish breaking in the mornings and also starting to see bait being chased throughout the day. I’ve been starting my mornings out throwing a Whopper Plopper, Pop-R and a Zoom Fluke on main-lake points, humps and around any brush. We have also been catching fish around docks on a Fluke. Once I’m done throwing topwater the first couple of hours, I will switch over to throwing a shaky head and a drop shot around docks. I will start working on points that have brushpiles and stumps. I will also start fishing the deep, rocky banks and work my way upriver, fishing all the banks that the river swings against. It’s also good to target the finger pockets going up the river. I like throwing a 3/8-oz. jig and spinnerbait around the treetops, going up the river. This is a good time of year for your forward-facing sonar. You can see how fish are reacting to your bait, which will help you pattern them better. Good luck.”
