Lake conditions and tournaments In Need of a Fishing License Interesting Fishing Facts Fishermen associate Greers Ferry Lake with walleye fishing. A national walleye tournament is held on Greers Ferry Lake every year. The world record walleye weighing more than 22 pounds was caught here. The largemouth and smallmouth bass, the spotted or Kentucky bass, the striped bass/white bass hybrids, the lake trout, crappie and bream are all species found in the lake. The new world's record hybrid bass weighing 27 pounds, 5 ounces was caught on Greers Ferry Lake by a local guide in April 1997. He fought the fish for 25 minutes. Jerry Shaum of Shirley knew he had a huge fish on the line. He held on until the battle was won. He was trolling in 45 feet of water. The Little Red River feeds Greers Ferry Lake. A world-class fishery for brown trout and rainbow trout, the Little Red River produced another world record fish: a 40-pound, 4-ounce brown trout, in 1992, beating the earlier record catches of 28 to 29 pounds. BAIT Glow in the Dark Fishing Lures FISHING REPORT The water level at Greers Ferry Lake is at 456.19, that’s 4.84 feet below normal pool and the temps have fallen some to low 80’s of a morning to around 87 in the afternoons. The whites and hybrid bass are eating it up on top schooling and down deeper feeding on small shad , try throwing topwater baits with front runners on top as well as small rooster tails, or just swim a spoon, the same baits will work deeper , but for the bigger fish try the buckshot in-line spinner , it is an 1 ounce bait and you can use it with bigger tackle for the bigger hybrids down deep and will hold up well while fished in the pole timber where a lot of these fish are suspended right now , the fishing is great now, but as the water cools you will not be able to get a bait through them without catching one. The crappie are kinda hard to come by right now, but the ones being caught right now are big, try for night fishing them or suspended in the pole timber around 22 feet over 60 feet. Catfishing is good aqll over the lake if you cannot catch any , try baiting an area with dog food for a couple of days and them pitch some jugs out. Walleye are biting kinda slow but some are being caught on crawlers , and jigging spoons in 30 or less of water , and some are coming in with the whites and hybrids. The black bass fishing is good with some fish being caught out of the pole timber again and shallow and mid range and deep up to 70 feet , try topwater baits ,buzzbaits , jighead worms , split shot worms , football heads and c-rigs for the deeper fish as well as the texas rig.
