A lot of people don't realize that even though the temperature is about to get cold, the fishing on Dale Hollow Lake is about to get hot! Float n' Fly weather is just around the corner, and for some reason I just have a feeling that it's going to be the best one yet. Everyone has been refining their techniques, stocking up on Float n' Fly gear, and ready to show off some of the best looking Smallmouth you've ever seen.

Smallmouth

You'll notice a consistant theme in this report...stay close to the main body near grassy river channel points. Due to a lot of pulling on the lake and the lack of rain this season, the water level is low and fish are staying close to these points near creeks. Typically in the fall we get a good amount of rain that washes plankton and other sources of food for the forage into the creeks. Smallmouth are lazy. Instead of chasing their meals in and out of the creeks they stage at these points and wait for them to pass while heading into the creeks or back out to the main river channel. This hasn't been a typical season, but your best chance of landing a bronze beast will still be around these points and off steep banks near these points in 30-40 feet of water...
