Fishing Report: 7/9/2020

The Etowah River is running at 958 cFs from Allatoona Dam. This flow is great! Cartersville did receive a good bit of rain yesterday, so some of the tributary creeks may have a stain, but don't let that deter you from fishing. If you plan on targeting bass, I would...

Fishing Report: May 21st, 2020

The Etowah River is fishing well right now. According to the Corps of Engineers, Allatoona Dam won't be generating for the summer due to maintenance. What this means, is that we will have continuous flow out of the dam, but instead of short pulses at 7000/8000 cfs, we...
