Fishing
Dale Hollow Lake is considered one of the nation’s best lakes for smallmouth bass. There are also rainbow trout and occasional muskie and walleye catches. The fishing season's on all year long, and they're biting everyday! Crappie, bream, muskie, walleye, trout, catfish, and five species of bass--largemouth, smallmouth, white, Kentucky, and rock--have given Dale Hollow Lake undisputed honor as a top fishing spot in the country. This lake held the world record smallmouth bass and the state record muskie. Dale Hollow Lake, formed by backing up Tennessee's Obey River in 1943, has 620 miles of shoreline. There are plenty of shoals, small tributaries, and clean, clear water to encourage healthy fish growth.Spear Fishing

All participants in this sport must be submerged while spearfishing. Only rough fish may be taken and the appropriate fishing license is required. The daily creel limit is 15 fish.
