Fishing on Lanier has been pretty good most days. Fish are in their usual patterns. Most day feeding on small threadfin. Trout and herring and shiners tend to be the go to. The Bite for me seems to get better as the day progresses. Water temp is in the low to mid 40s. Finding the high concentrations of bait is key to success. Down lines free lines and boards. Don't be afraid to bump banks and docks big fish use the shallower water to warm. Using Mini Mac's is also a key trolling 1.3 mph 40 feet behind the boat...

Water flows exiting the Buford Dam is hovering at 50-53 so even though we are experiencing cooler air temperatures the fish are happy and active all winter long because of our unique thermocline in Lake Lanier. Consistent dry fly in the afternoons with hatches of Little Winter Stones, BWO's and Midges. Post spawn activity with the brown trout still aggressive on nymphs and streamers.

Winter hatches of BWO's , Little Winter Stones and midges should bring some rising pods of trout to the surface.
