Lake Weiss Fishing Report – January 2022

Weiss: Level: 5.6 feet below 564. Temp: 49-51 degrees. Clarity: Clear.

Crappie: Guide Mark Collins reports, “Crappie fishing is good, and they are on the creek and river channel ledges 18 to 25 feet deep. Spider rigging with live minnows and jigs over brush and stumps is the way to catch fish in the fall. A few crappie are still being caught shooting docks with jigs. Some fish are starting to suspend in the river channel in Little River and can be caught longline trolling with Jiffy Jigs. Some fish have moved shallow in the bays to the warmer water.”

Various Fish Species: Guide Mark Collins reports, “Striper fishing is poor with no reports of any catches. Catfish are biting good in the bays and creeks in 8 to 15 feet of water. Cutbait is working best. Bass are fair, and they are on their winter pattern on the river and creek channels. Drop-shot rigs and Carolina rigs are catching fish.”
