Watts Bar Lake - Fishing Report

The lake is full and stable, water dropping a little.

Crappie are being caught on very deep structure in or near secondary channels. Some crappie are being caught near river blowdowns. Night crappie are being caught under lights at night. Minnows or jigs offer equal opportunities for catching numbers or slabs.

Bass are being caught near main channel banks and in deep secondary areas. Secondary areas are more consistent than other areas. Most anglers are casting lipless lures into the bait fish while looking for a few feeding bass.

White bass and striped bass are being caught more often near primary drops associated with humps. The edge that gets hit with current flow is normally the general area to fish. Spinner-type lures worked deep will offer the best opportunity for catching fish.

Bluff areas along the river are one of several areas that are being fished for bluegill. Worms and crickets are being used for bait.

Drifters are catching catfish in the main channel. All the normal baits associated with catfish have been productive.
