Fishing Report Fontana Lake

Winter time on Fontana is without question one of the most challenging, fun and rewarding bites to get on. Challenging because you never know what the weather will bring, fun because the fish are gorging shad and rewarding because the fish you catch can be STUDS! The fish in Fontana are always aggressive, their lives revolve around eating Threadfin Shad!

The water is around 47* and the smallmouth, spots and largemouth are feeding heavy in the 15ft- 30ft zone all around the lake! Best advice we can give you, chase the wind! People often think that the"wind blows the schools of shad." This is indirectly true, wind blows the shads food source and the shad follow! Now what baits to throw...
