Water Conditions: Lake Lanier is holding well. Currently, we are at 1,071.89 feet, which is 0.89 feet above the normal full pool of 1,071 feet. Lake surface temperatures are hovering around the uppers 80’s. The main lake and lower lake creek mouths are clear to stained. The upper lake creeks, pockets and the rivers are also clear to stained. Check generation schedules before heading out to the river below Buford Dam at 770-945-1466. Bass: Bass fishing has varied from good to tough, depending on who you speak with. Personally, fishing has been a challenge for me. There have been some great days just to be out on the water, and if you boat a limit of fish that’s a bonus this week.
