February Fishing Report - the Allatoona Bite
While we are still hanging in around 15 ft below full pool reservoir-wide, there are some major differences from north to south. The south end is fed by Allatoona Creek. It clears up quicker than the water north of the dam which is fed by the Etowah River. Just in case you are wondering what the E or A designations were on navigation markers. The water here on the south end is crystal clear for the most part, and the deep blue-green hue may be seen from iron Hill to the dam.


The Bite : Lake Allatoona fishing report for December
Our beautiful North Georgia reservoir shines all year long, and winter has its own unique sereneness that only adds to the magic that is Lake Allatoona. And on that note, one of the most beautiful things I have come to witness over the past couple years is the increase of the common loon.

Lake Allatoona Fishing Report - The Bite
With reservoir surface temperatures dropping into the '60s, Autumn is here to stay. Currently our reservoir is approximately 6+feet below full pool and with little exception can expect to continue to drop another 10 ft. into anticipated winter pool over the next couple of months. The hybrid, white bass and striper action has definitely picked up. For several weeks now we have been catching a lot of striped bass that have likely come into the reservoir from the upper Etowah.
