Nottely

Fishing appears to be good on every lake in Georgia. Hearing some really good reports about Lanier, Carters, Hartwell, and Nottely. Several different things are working on Lanier. The free line fishing in the mornings has picked up. Trout continue to be the best bait. Expect to see some of the largest fish of the year caught over the next month. Umbrellas are catching fish as well clipping points and humps. Now that the fish are tight to the points and humps be sure to pick up a Jerry Hester Umbrella rig retriever. You will neeed it. The downline bite with trout over the large schools of baitfish continues to be strong. All in all it is pretty good fishing. Personally, I went to Nottely yesterday and caught some decent fish. On Nottely, the fish are very deep. All of our fish came 65 ft deep over a 70 ft bottom. The bait is in the creeks just like Lanier. Fish just above the bottom in and around the bait using trout and herring. We fished two different creeks and fish were in both creeks.
