Reelfoot Lake Fishing Report
 

Reelfoot Lake was created by a series of earthquakes in 1811-1812.

Reelfoot Lake produces more freshwater fish per acre than any other lake in the world.

 The abundance of stump and under water structure left from the earthquake provide great fish habitat.

Reelfoot Lake game fish include bream, crappie, large-mouth bass, and catfish.

Reelfoot Lake has a 30 daily creel limit on crappie and no limit on bluegill.

 Crappie: prime fishing begins in March and runs through June. The crappie fishing picks up again in September and goes through November.

Bluegill: prime time is April through June.
Game & Fish Magazine says Reelfoot Lake is the top bluegill fishery in the state.

Bass: in the spring the bite is good April through June. The bass will be on the beds in late April. The fall bite is good October and November.

 Catfishing: good during the warmer months on Reelfoot Lake.

You can rent a boat for a day from any of the resorts around the lake.

There are free public boat ramps and fishing piers conveniently located around the lake.
