Lake Blue Ridge Fishing Report – March 2021

Blue Ridge: Level: 12 feet below full pool. Temp: 42-44 degrees. Clarity: Clear.

Bass: Guide Eric Welch reports, “Fishing has been fair, the lake level has come up the past couple weeks, and the water temp has gone down. The fish have been scattered around the lake. On the main body, look for sunny, rock bank lines and rocky points. Up the river try rocky bluff banks. The fish we’ve been catching have been in 20 to 40 feet of water. Try a drop shot with a 4.5-inch Roboworm and a Z-man Ned rig with a TRD worm. If you see any fish on your electronics, try dropping a 1/2-oz. spoon or a Strike King 2.75-inch Rage Swimmer on a 1/2-oz. Moon Eye jig head. There has been a jig bite on the rocky bluff walls. Try a 3/8-oz. green-pumpkin jig with a twin-tail grub. On sunny days with a little wind, try the A-rig around docks and points. This time of year I normally start out with a small crankbait like a Bandit 200, Strike King Series 3 and a Rapala No. 5 Shad Rap in a bream or natural color. If we start getting some warmer days, you should start seeing some fish move in around spawning areas. Good luck.”
