Richland Chambers Fishing Report

Feb 25, 2026

GOOD. Water slightly stained; 56 degrees; 1.86 feet below pool. Black Bass will continue to make their way to the spawning coves as long as the warming trend continues. The coves on the north side of the lake are a good place to start. Target boat docks in these coves working your way to the backs of the coves. Cover water with a bladed jig, squarebill crankbait, and a spinnerbait. Hybrids are starting to school up in big numbers. The birds have been working early and late in the afternoon. You can run an Alabama rig through the school and hold on, many times getting two hybrids at a time. Deadstick a fluke when there is no schooling action. Fish have been on points going out to 38 feet of water. The big white bass have been in similar areas. Downsize your fluke on a half ounce jig head with a bucktail 18 inches above the jig. The catfish guides are constantly catching numbers of quality size fish using cut bait. The prime time is approaching soon. Good Fishing. Report by Terry Hawkins Guide Service.
