Description
When the Tennessee Valley Authority established a series of dams on the Tennessee River during the 1930s, the river was converted into a 652 mile waterway. In the process Alabama's Guntersville became a major shipping port. The Guntersville Dam stretches across the Tennessee River for 3979 feet, creating a 75 mile long lake that reaches back into Tennessee.
Today, Lake Guntersville is mostly about fishing. In late spring, during the mayfly hatch, white bass attract a fun-loving group of fly-fishing anglers. Crappie, largemouth bass, and bluegills dominate catches during the summer fishing season. Among the monster Guntersville largemouth bass, Charlie Bertus holds the official record with a 14.5 pounder.
