Richland Chambers Fishing Report

Feb 18, 2026

GOOD. Water slightly stained; 58 degrees; 1.89 feet below pool. The birds are a good indicator of the location of the hybrids and white bass. Cast Alabama rigs, swimbaits, and or slowly drift using a dead stick fluke. The warming trend that may continue could send the White Bass to the creeks and the shallow points. The fishing will be amazing at this time. Swim baits and Rattle Traps are a great choice at this time. Black Bass will move to spawning coves as the water warms. Start with the coves on the north side of the lake, they will warm up faster. Look for rock, wood, or boat dock poles that will provide cover and retain warmth. If it continues to warm fish the dock walk ways and retaining walls. The Catfish Guides are still catching them good on cut bait drifting flats. Good Fishing, Terry Hawkins Guide Service Report by Terry Hawkins Guide Service.
