Thread: Lake Wylie Catawba nuclear station warm water disharge

Hate to say it but your not going any farther than the bridge on the bank. It is blocked off and it's not worth the trouble. It's watched by the security at the nuclear plant. You'd be better off fishing out of a boat under or out in front of the bridge.

They're kind of touchy about the nuclear plants these days thankfully. Years ago, we used to go up behind the plant and fish. You'd probably get shot now.

Well, Ron, you know I don't have a boat. The close-by creeks might benefit from it. I need to fish on the bank, around the bridge or along the nearby creeks. I am just trying to figure out the exact location.

Allen sits idle most of time. I got skunked several times.

The lake water isn't cold enough for fish to be hunting or holding in warn water spot like they will once the water drops into the 40's. Bridges that makes the lake draw in like a funnel would be a good place to fish from the bank. The bait and fish has to come through those funnels and would give you a good chance to catch them. Using a float/jig, float/minnow or casting a jig and counting it down to different depths before reeling in.

Hope you are able to find some places to fish. Good Luck

And if you fish at night at the Nuclear Plant discharge you can see the fish because they glow in the dark and they are already parboiled so you can just eat them out of the lake. Might want to get you affairs in order first though.

If your any good with a jig they catch them all year at Alison pier
