Old Hickory Lake Guide Service Fishing Report- 03/11/2014

Posted by ian on March 11, 2014

Fishing this week has been up and down and honestly quite disappointing considering the good fishing we had the previous week. But that’s spring fishing and you quickly learn to roll with the punches. With all the cold rain we got last week the water temp has lost everything it had gained and more along with mudding up the river which makes the worst possible conditions to fish in; cold muddy water. But things are looking up!!! At the beginning of this week the water temps had already began to rebound and I was able to find mid 50s in some creeks with the river around 47-49 degrees.  With air temps forecasted this week to be in the 60s and plenty of sun along with a day of warm rain the water temperatures will continue to climb and the fishing improving.

  As mentioned before the fishing has been hit or miss this week. This week our dominate pattern has been running clean water areas and not really paying attention to the water temperature too much as I believe the clean water was much more important. We are still focusing on deeper banks, small flats close to deep water and channel swing banks. Our best baits are still jerkbaits, shakey heads, squarebills, Santone jigs and all fish were caught on Denali Rods paired with Lews reels.

  The days are getting longer and the weather is absolutely beautiful. My days for March and the rest of spring are filling up so call and book today!!!

  We use brand new high grade fishing equipment from Denali Rods, Lews reels, Sunline fishing line, Santone Jigs and other top of the line equipment. I am a United States Coast Guard licensed Captain, fully insured and dedicated to making your trip the trip of a lifetime!
