Dynamics of Fishing in Impoundments

Fishing in impoundments is nothing short of an adventure. The landscape beneath those waters holds a world of secrets that once existed before being submerged. Think about it: what did the topography look like before it was blanketed by forty feet of water?

The underwater world in these impoundments offers an intricate maze of cover and structure for fish. From submerged trees to rocky outcrops, there's a myriad of hiding places for fish. Add to that the creeks, springs, and the man-made shipping channels, and you're presented with a multitude of fishing options. But there's another layer to this experience - the current generated by the dam's operations. This means you're essentially fishing a lake and a river simultaneously. And if bass fishing is your game, prepare for a thrilling experience!
