Lake Keowee Fishing Report – July 2013

Lake Keowee is at 97.5% of full pool.

Largemouth and Spotted Bass: Fair to good.  Guide Brad Fowler (864-934-5813) reports that on the recent full moon the last straggler fish appear to have spawned on Lake Keowee, and the spawn should be pretty much over now.  As on Hartwell there is starting to be some topwater activity, however fish are not very well grouped up since the spawn dragged out over several months and temperatures have stayed relatively cool – meaning fish are not all at the same stage.  In addition to looking for topwater action anglers can catch fish targeting points and humps in 15-30 feet of water with drop shots and shakey head worms, and anglers wanting to cover more water are having some success dragging Carolina rigs.  Soft plastics fished around docks will also catch fish.
