Greers Ferry Fishing Report


Greers Ferry is currently 7 ft below normal pool and falling slightly. Water surface temperatures are finally approaching the upper 70's in the morning and warming to just over 80 degrees.  Water clarity is dependent on location, some areas have 15 feet of vis and others have a foot.  Schooling action on most all species is occurring in isolated areas.  If you find yourself in an area with shad present, it's only a matter of time before the fish feed.  It's best to stay put and wait the fish out rather than running around and hitting numerous areas, although you don't want to sit idle in an area without fish.  Run and gun until you locate both bait and fish on your graph.  Right now most every species in the lake is less than 32 feet of water.  Artificial minnow imitations and top waters have been best from sun up to sun down when fished in the middle to upper levels of the water column.  The clearer the water the further these fish will come to eat your offering.  Remember, for every foot you can see in the water with the human eye, fish can see 4 to 6 times this distance.  Keep this in mind and you will catch more fish!
