A favorite lake among fisherman, it should be no surprise that Douglas Lake, covering over 28,000 acres with more than 500 miles of shoreline, hosts many fishing tournaments with a variety of species, including large mouth bass, small mouth bass, white bass, black bass, crappie, sauger, walleye, bluegill, channel catfish, blue cat, sunfish, carp and more.
It is known far and wide for the Bass Master tournaments it hosts. Among the tournaments that held on the lake were the Bass Master High School Open, the Bass Pro Shops Northern Open, Bass Masters Series Tennessee and Bass Master Megabucks. National Fishing Week takes place annually during June, and the Big Bass Tour have announced their dates for 2023 for Douglas Lake will be October 6 to 8, 2023.
Several professional fishermen have taped shows while fishing on the lake. Among the larger fish caught from the lake is a 52.62-pound striper reeled in by Keith Poche, which turned out to be a lake record. Poche, a professional fisherman, had the fish weighed in by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA).
Douglas Lake was also where the largest goldfish carp in the state was caught. It weighed in at 1 pound, 11 ounces.
- Black bass
Both large and smallmouth varieties roam Douglas Lake. These fish spawn in the shallow areas of the lake and are most active March through June. Spinnerbaits in white and Carolina-rigged lizards work well with these types of fish. Other popular lures are Rattle Traps, DD-22’s, and electric red worms. Concentrations of largemouth bass have been observed in the creek channels after the water has been drawn down in the fall.
- White bass
Start the year reeling in these schooling fish. The best time to catch white bass is between January and April, specifically late winter when they are spawning in the headwaters of the reservoir and French Broad River. The Leadvale area is especially good for white bass, who tend to bite on rooster tail lures, grubs, and small flies. There is a 15 fish daily limit on white bass, so you know there are opportunities for a big day catching these exciting fish.
- Crappie
These fish are very popular at Douglas Lake and can be found in areas all across the lake where brush is sitting in the water. Flat, Muddy, and McGuire creeks are also good areas to look for crappie. The best months for catching crappie are February through early May, and small flies and small crankbaits are effective lures.
- Catfish
There are plenty of catfish that live in Douglas Lake, but only one, 34-inch or longer can be harvested per day at the lake.
For those wanting to catch catfish, these anglers can find channel, blue, and flathead catfish in areas across Douglas Lake. Catfish feed on crayfish, worms, fish, insects, decaying animal matter, and mollusks, and spawning takes place when water surface temperatures near 75 degrees. Therefore, rocky ledges and cavities are the preferred spawning habitats.
- Walleye and Sauger
These fish are a blast to catch, and fishermen from across the country come to snag one because they fight hard and taste delicious. Like white bass, the best time to catch these fish is between January and April as sauger makes a spring spawning run to the headwaters of the reservoir and the French Broad River during that time. Some great fishing takes place from Point 18 to the Walters Bridge area as fish move upstream near Baneberry. The most effective way to catch either of these fish is to use large red or orange flies as bait.
Wedding ceremonies have taken place in various locations at the Lake House including on the 256 sq ft lakeside deck, on the 320 sq ft deck overlooking the lake, and on the driveway bordered by trees and shrubs at the front of the house. There are many opportunities for the perfect photograph within the 5 acre gated wooded lakeside peninsula whether in Spring and Summer when the foliage is green, late September thru November when the trees change into their Fall foliage with a burst of various shades of red, or the winter months with snow on the ground.
