It is currently at 869 ft. above sea level and 207 ft. from full.  The water clarity is clear in most of the lake with a few areas being a little stained. The water temperature continues to cool with the average being 52-55 degrees.  Tuttletown launch is closed. Glory Hole Point boat launch is open with a two lane concrete ramp and a dock.  4wd is no longer needed to launch.

 

Trout:  Good.  The cold winter weather and freezing temperatures have encouraged the fish to follow winter patterns.  The lake has turned and the surface temperature has dropped.  Each year when this happens many of the larger trout will move up in the water column and can be found cruising the shoreline, making them easier for anglers to catch.  Bank anglers have been having luck near the 49-bridge and off of Glory Hole Point.  Fan casting lures and covering water has been a good way to catch a handful of chunky trout.  Rapalas, Kastmasters, Tasmanian Devils and Little Cleos are all good choices.  For those who prefer a less active approach try floating an egg or ball of Power Bait off of the bottom. Bass: Good.  Most anglers are catching plenty of fish on each outing.  The lake is full of 1 to 3-pound spotted bass that will feed multiple times throughout the day.  The lake also has a very large population of shad.  These schooling bass will gorge on these balls of shad and can be caught anywhere the baitfish is located.  Creek channels, bluffs and rocky points are all good places to find aggressively feeding fish.  The shad will often suspend in the water column over deep water.  These suspending fish can be caught on a dropshot rig.
