Dale Hollow Lake, straddling the borders of Tennessee and Kentucky, is one of America’s most beautiful outdoor destinations. Spanning nearly 27,000 acres, this deep clear reservoir has long been a favorite with fisherman.
Fisherman nationwide know Dale Hollow Lake as the home of the world record smallmouth bass, but relatively few anglers realize that Dale Hollow harbors trophy muskies as well. Musky were stocked in the lake in the 60’s, and have reproduced naturally ever since. While a few other lakes in the Southeast region may have a larger population of muskies, the average size of Dale Hollow Muskies is impressive, and the extremely low fishing pressure directed at this species means your shot at a trophy-class fish is better here than many well-known musky waters.
Although its possible to catch
a musky at any time on Dale Hollow Lake, your best chance of hanging
one of these elusive predators is in cold weather, from November
to Febuary. Dale Hollow never ices over even in an unusually harsh
winter, and there’s no closed fishing season. This makes Dale Hollow
the perfect winter fishing destination for the avid musky hunter
faced with “hard water” back home.
Musky fishing is done by motor
trolling, in Freds' new 20' Triton, with a variety of lures and
techniques. A Tennessee fishing license is required. THIS IS TROPHY
MUSKIE FISHING ONLY AND ALL FISH MUST BE RELEASED AFTER PHOTOS ARE
TAKEN. DIGITAL PICTURES WILL BE SENT TO YOUR E-MAIL.
