Local Tips & Conditions
Buchanan Dam offers excellent smallmouth bass fishing opportunities throughout the year, but early fall presents some of the best action. During this time, the bass are typically found near underwater structures, drop-offs, and around rocky areas. Morning trips are particularly productive as the fish are more active during these cooler hours.
When fishing Buchanan Dam, pay attention to water temperatures and clarity as these factors significantly influence bass behavior. Partly cloudy conditions, like we experienced, often trigger more aggressive feeding patterns compared to bright, sunny days. The water levels can fluctuate at Buchanan Dam, so having a guide who knows how these changes affect fish location and behavior is invaluable for a successful trip.

Water and light snacks are recommended, and we encourage catch-and-release practices to preserve the fishery for future anglers.
