Dale Hollow Lake

Some Happy Anglers

The fishing season’s on all year long, and they’re biting everyday! Crappie, bream, muskie, walleye, trout, catfish, and five species of bass--largemouth, smallmouth, white, Kentucky, and rock--have given Dale Hollow Lake undisputed honor as a top fishing spot in the country.

This lake held the world record smallmouth bass and the state record muskie. Dale Hollow Lake, formed by backing up Tennessee’s Obey River in 1943, has 620 miles of shoreline. There are plenty of shoals, small tributaries, and clean, clear water to encourage healthy fish growth.

Along with world-class fishing, many other activities are available, including:

• Golf
• Horesback Riding
• Caving
• Boating
• Motorcycle Trails

I just got back from a 7 day carp fishing charter with USA Carp Guide and it was a trip of a lifetime! I caught 2 fish over 30lbs and 5 over 20lbs. These are a first class group of guys who went above and beyond to make our trip one we will never forget! From day 1 to the last it was an absolute blast to be out there with them. If u want to enjoy this unbelievable place like we did then I would definitely recommend you come out with USA Carp Guide. Thank you for a week of memories and I look forward to doing it again asap!
