Please be careful on Weiss Lake with the low water level !
Bass fishing is Good. The upper Coosa river is producing a lot of fish at the mouth of all the feeder creeks and bays. Use a Gizz 4 or Bandit 100 series crank bait in solid white, a Texas rig with a Zoom Dead Ringer in Junebug is also catching fish. Fish the mouth of any bay, creek or cut, no matter how small off the main Coosa river channel, the log jams on the edge of the river channel is holding fish also.
Little River is still producing a lot of Spotted Bass , use a 4 inch Zoom Ring Worm in Smoke Glitter color or Pumpkin Seed color, fish the river channel ledges above JR's Marina. The deep rock wall in Little River below Little Spring Creek is producing some good stringers of Largemouth and Spotted bass. Try slow rolling a 1/4 or 3/8 ounce Strike king spinner bait with a double willow leaf blade, work it SLOWLY with a stop and go retrieve to imitate a dying shad, bouncing it down the rock ledge. A small 1/4 ounce jig in brown with a Zoom pumpkin seed chunk trailer worked slowly down the rock ledge is always a good winter time bait.
Crappie fishing is Great. The upper Coosa river is producing fish along the main river channel above Riverside Camp Ground using minnows on a bottom bouncing rig. This rig consists of a 1/2 to 3/4 ounce bell sinker tied on your main line then tying a Eagle Claw Snelled # 1 hook about 12 inches above your weight, fish this rig 10 to 16 feet deep along the old river channel above and below Riverside Camp ground. With this warming trend look for the fish to start moving in to the bays.
Spider trolling 1/16 ounce Jiffy Jigs in white.blue,white and chartreuse,white,chartreuse will produce some good action in the bays of the mid to lower lake.
The Chattooga River is also producing some fair catches using a Float and Fly technique and minnows 3 to 6 feet deep around the stumps on the edge of the old river channel. Target the river from the highway 68 bridge all the way to the bridge in Gaylesville.
Striper fishing is Good The stripers have started moving up the Coosa river to make their spawning run. Fishing cut bait on the bottom in the Coosa River behind Plant Hammond has always been a great producer in February and early march. The stripers will then move up behind the Lock and Dam in Rome Georgia, waiting for the water to rise enough for them to go over and on up the Etowah and Oostanaula Rivers to spawn.
Catfish are biting Good. Jug fishing in the bays of the upper coosa river is a sure way to load the boats with some nice fish. Use cut bait or any kind of stink bait.
