WEISS LAKE IS AT 5 FEET 3 INCHES BELOW FULL POOL AND CLEAR AND 68 70 DEGREE'S


With the drought conditions Weiss Lake is down over 3 feet below the normal level for this time of the year. Levels will continue to drop until rain improves conditions. People with boats, other water related equipment, and facilities should be alert to changing conditions on and below Alabama Power lakes, and take the necessary steps to protect their property.

PLEASE BE SAFE, BOATING ON WEISS LAKE. The lake is almost at winter level and VERY DANGEROUS!
Bass fishing is good and most fish have moved shallow on secondary point, sand bars and humps, and they are being caught on Rat L Traps, shallow running flat sided crank baits and spinner baits and jigs. This is the best time to take advantage of the Lowrance Down Scan technology and you can count the fish on the bottom. The spots are biting great in the upper Coosa River near Riverside Camp Ground, they are chasing Shad on the edges of the old river channel and the mouth of any cove.

Crappie fishing is great and most fish are on the main Coosa River, Little River and the Chattooga River channel ledges, in 12 to 16 feet of water on cover, and they can be caught spider rigging with live minnows, fished 2 to 4 feet above the bottom on a drop shot rig. Some fish are still being caught under docks in the main lake, shooting jigs, a 1/24 ounce Jiffy Jig in colors JJ13 and JJ17 is working great.
