The water is stained in most of the lake. There are mud lines forming near the shore throughout the day, especially on windy days. The average water temperature is 74-78 degrees.  

 

Tuttletown launch is closed. Glory Hole Point boat launch is the road leading off the end of the point.  It is a dirt launch without courtesy docks and 4wd is recommended. Trout: Slow.  There have been a few anglers trying to pattern the large rainbow trout. This is normally a good time of year but so far anglers have had very little success.  With a few colder nights and shorter days the fishing should get good.  Trolling anglers try trolling shad patterned plugs or rolling shad.  The trout feed on the shad that are schooling in the main lake. Bass are in a late summer/early fall pattern and can be difficult to find.  The shad are starting to school up in the deep water and the bass are hunting them in wolf packs.  Try using a shad patterned grub on a ¼ oz. darthead.  This is a great setup that can be fished in multiple ways.  You can drag it on the bottom, fish it vertically, or swim it at any depth.  Also, if you use your electronics and find bait in deeper water a great way to catch them is with a vertical jigging spoon or with a drop shot rig fished directly under the boat. Catfish: Very Good.  The catfish anglers have been doing well some anglers are catching multiple fish on each outing.  With the water being low there are areas of lake that can be accessed from the shore that have been underwater for years.  The Angels Creek channel on the main lake is a short walk from Glory Hole Point.  This is a good time of the year to fish for catfish.  The lake is really nice in the evenings and through the night and this is when the big cats come to the shoreline and search for food.  Try using shad, anchovies and nightcrawlers for bait.  It is a good idea to use an ample amount of scent to help the fish locate your bait.
