This is approximately 8 miles from the spillway from Lake Lanier, this water very rarely if ever see's high 60's degree level. Water stays from low to mid 40's to mid 50's, low 60's in the hottest part of summer. I have never heard of a bass being caught from this part of the river, I have caught bluegill further south.

I have seen a big white carp in the river it may have a friend in the larger pool. It just does not make sense to me for there not to be fish in the slow current with food from the brush and trees in the summer.
