How River Levels Affect Fish and Fishing: Truth About Flow Changes

Описание: Understanding the rise and fall of river flows is key to fishing success—especially in dam-regulated rivers. In this in-depth video, I walk the banks of the Chattahoochee River between Alabama and Georgia to explain the two primary types of flow variation anglers encounter: seasonal and daily.

💧 Seasonal flows are driven by rainfall patterns—typically higher in winter and spring, lower in summer and fall.
⚡ Daily flows are largely controlled by hydropower dams, which often release water in the afternoons for energy demand—not because of fishing or natural cycles.

I bust common myths about hydroelectric power and explain how dam operations truly work in the Southeastern U.S. I also share some of my own research on how black bass species respond to sudden current changes—and how those reactions can impact your fishing success.

🎣 If you fish rivers—especially those with dams—this knowledge will help you time your trips, read the water, and fish smarter.
