Here is the fishing report from the TWRA:
Center Hill: Fishing is fair. Water temperature is 80; lake is stable.
Walleye: Several walleye are being caught while trolling nightcrawlers on flat banks in 18-to-20 feet of water.
Bass: A few bass are being caught early in the morning and late in the evenings on topwater baits while fish are busting shad. Several bass are being caught at night on soft plastics on points in 10 feet of water.
Chickamauga Reservoir: Reservoir Conditions: Summer normal elevation: 682.0 feet. Winter normal elevation: 676.0 feet. Current elevation: 682.2 feet.
The water surface temperature is 80 degrees.
Largemouth Bass: Bass are being caught along the bank in areas where the bluegill are spawning and offshore when the current is running. Baits dragged along the bottom are being used most often.
Smallmouth Bass: Just a few are being caught. Most bass anglers are catching these fish while targeting largemouth.
Crappie: Docks and submerged brush in 10 feet of water or deeper are being targeted by anglers using jigs or minnows.
Striped bass: Some heavy fish are being caught in the tailwaters while using shad. The number of fish being caught has not been great.
Bluegill: Some shallow bedding fish can be caught. Other fish are deep along shell beds. Wax worms, crickets and small jigs are being used.
Catfish: Plenty of fish are being caught while drifting in the main channel and while fishing with meaty baits. Current will increase the number of fish being caught.
Dale Hollow: Fishing is slow; water temperature is 79 degrees; lake is stable.
Bass: A few bass are being caught on topwater baits on the flats in the daytime. A few bass are also being caught at night on soft plastics and jigs while fishing points in 10-to-15 feet of water.
Walleye: Several walleye are being caught near daylight while throwing big crankbaits on the points in 10 feet of water. Also, during mid-day, walleye are being caught while trolling nightcrawlers on grassy flats in 20 feet of water.
Bluegill: A few nice bluegill are being caught on the bluffs in 15 feet of water while using crickets.
Watts Bar: Reservoir Conditions: Summer normal elevation: 740.5 feet. Winter normal elevation: 736.0 feet. Current elevation: 740.8 feet. The water surface temperature is 80 degrees in many areas.
Largemouth Bass: Summer patterns are becoming dominate. Crankbaits and plastic worms are better than other lures. Big water is the search area.
Smallmouth Bass: More caught at night near rocky banks along the river banks.
Walleye: No reports.
Crappie: Deep docks and secondary brush in combination with jigs or minnows is the technique being used for some nice catches.
