Notes
From the State: Sampling: Electrofishing in April, 2008, revealed a largemouth bass population consisting primarily of fish from 12 to 15 inches in length. Numbers of bass above 15 inches are below the Alabama reservoir average. Bass anglers can expect better than average catch rates of bass up to lengths of 15 inches or 1 - 1.5 pounds, but anglers will have to work hard to find larger fish. Fast growth from these plump 12- to 15-inch bass should result in better than average numbers of 15 inch and larger bass in 2009.
