Largemouth Bass (Most common fish in Lake Lanier)
Largemouth bass are relatively abundant in the upper areas of the reservoir and backwater sections of coves, where shallow water cover is prevalent. Anglers should see a strong class of 5-year old largemouths in the coming year. This should help anglers find more bass greater than the 14-inch minimum than usual.
