Lake Hartwell

Phil - graduate

I recently moved on the Tugaloo river on Lake Hartwell. I often hear people talking about fishing main lake points. Is the reservoir or dam area considered the main lake? Or would fishing points on the Tugaloo channel be considered main lake?

Hi Phil, You moved onto a great body of water. Lake Hartwell is a great fishery. There are blue back herring in the lake. In addition to the Largemouth there are spotted bass in the lake. Below are two interviews about Hartwell for you to check out on the site. I would say that points on the river would be considered main lake points as well as the points down toward the dam. The ones up the river will typically fish shallower than those on the lower end of the lake. Good luck down there. I'll be down there to visit the lake next fall for a Bassmaster Open. Can't wait to fish there again.
