Lake Nottely Fishing Report – January 2021

Nottely: Level: 13.5 feet low. Temp: 53-55 degrees. Clarity: Creeks are stained and the main lake is clear.

Stripers: Guide Jeremy Seabolt reports, “Fishing has been average so far. We have been on some nice schools of fish, and they have been hungry. Most of our fish have been coming from downlines over a 40-foot bottom, but we have also been catching some nice fish up shallower in the afternoons pulling large herring and trout. The key is having a good fish finder. Find the bait and the fish will not be far behind. Fish have been schooling up from Point 9 to the dam. Going in to January, we will start looking for the birds to move in. The way the weather is looking, I’m thinking we may have a good threadfin kill. We are overrun with threadfins. January is a good month to throw bucktails on points and work them back slowly. Just remember we are in the colder parts of fishing, so always be safe when out on the water. The Bait Shack is always stocked up with your striper candy.”
