Lake Nottely Fishing Report – January 2022

Nottely: Level: 14.2 feet below 1775. Temp: 53-55 degrees. Clarity: Clear.

Stripers: Guide Jeremy Seabolt reports, “Fishing has been fair. We have been catching a mixed bag of fish. The stripers and spots have been hanging in the 20- to 40-foot depth, but we have all been catching them up shallower on planer boards and freelines, with most of the fish up shallower on herring and trout. The key this time year is to find the bait and the fish won’t be far behind. Trolling Captain Mack’s boards have also been performing well for us in the middle of the day. By mid January, it should be getting fairly cold up here, so the bait will get to where it will start piling up on the sunny points. That means it will be time to start throwing bucktails and working them back as slowly as you can. A v-wake plug also works well in January.”
