Lake Oconee - Freshwater Fishing Report
Water Temp 50-59
The water temps are fluctuating as much as 10 degrees from the Apalachee to Wallace Dam, which means it is a chore to find hybrids that are settled into their spring pattern. For all purposes, the hybes should be at the dam right now! According to my trusty fishing logs, last year, this time, I had already boated around 100 of them. There are some reports coming of people catching them at the dam, but it is still pretty spotty.
Looking at the weather report it appears that old man winter will not turn us loose for this weekend either, as lots of rain and colder temps are heading this way. All this means actually nothing in the world if these things decide to eat and head that way. So if I were you, I would have everything ready, greased, locked and loaded, and be ready to jump like a coiled spring just as soon as I heard any word of them showing up.
The reason for this report is many people have asked if they have shown up at the dam. A newly appointed angler friend of mine caught over 20 there about 2 weeks ago, but they were all dinks, ranging in the 3 to 5 pound range, but never fear, the big ones are on the way. I have several trips starting this weekend and that is where I will begin to look. As soon as I find them, I will let you know!
Thanks for reading and I will see you on the water
