Fishing on Allatoona has slowed down this week, this cold weather has made the fish lethargic. However, with more stable weather approaching I’m looking for the bite to come back in a big way. Mid-Lake is a good place to start your search, but don’t be afraid to look down by the dam. Flat lines have been our bread and butter.  Even though we haven’t been boating large numbers of fish, bigger Stripers have been biting flat lined trout in the backs of creeks. Find the clear water and you find the fish. These lazy Hybrids and Stripers are right on the surface and down to 20 feet. Strap on the winter gear, it’s my favorite time of year to be on the water.
