I prefer High Rock. Badin to me is more a party lake. There are some good fish there though if you don’t mind the people.

I hear badin has good size and high rock has numbers. Tillery is tough but trying to learn it.

High rock is further away but more highway % of the way I’m thinking. Especially Tamarac rampAren't these lakes father up the road?

My bad, I was thinking Badin was farther up the road for some reason. I'll just follow the pack!

Badin has alright size, and numbers. Size isn't what High Rock has.
I fished Badin last weekend. If you can handle Wylie, you can handle Badin. My favorite of the Yadkin chain to meat haul from. Quality sized fish and they're a lot cleaner looking than the other lakes IMO. That said, I've got a soft spot for the big fish in High Rock so they get released.
Badin is slam full of brush piles, and from now til December, they'll be sitting on them thicker than fleas on a stray dog.

A theory I have developed over the years is that the first lake in a chain, like High Rock, captures most of the nutrients flowing down the river. Phytoplankton feed on those nutrients and become the forage for small minnows and more importantly, shad. Of course, shad is a primary food source for crappie and lots of other forage fish. As you go downstream from High Rock to Tuckertown to Badin to Tillery the nutrients are filtered out and less for the plankton. It's the source of life for bodies of water.
Interesting to hear from some of you guys that live in the area if this is actually what is happening. My home lake is Jordan and for years folks have been saying it is polluted with too much nitrogen and phosphorus. Well, guess what are the two key nutrients for plankton? What is pollution to some folks is the key source for good fishing for many of us.
