Fishing and Walleye Boat Rentals

As fishing enthusiasts know, there is no better place than Dale Hollow to cast your lines. The clear waters of Dale Hollow and the careful infusion of fish from the nearby National Fish Hatchery make it a destination for fishing tournaments and weekend fishing expeditions. Water temperatures and weather make the lake a year-round fishing favorite.

Species of fish that are caught in Dale Hollow Lake are Largemouth/Spotted/Smallmouth Bass, Crappie, Catfish (all species), White Bass, Yellow Bass, Walleye, Rock Bass, Redear Sunfish, Muskellunge, Bluegill/Warmouth and other sunfishes and trout.

While fishing is not allowed from the marinas due to Corps of Engineers rules, there are spots near each marina where those with fishing licenses may drop a line in the water.

Our stores at each marina carry fishing supplies, including night crawlers and redworms. A small assortment of tackle is available at our store at Cedar Hill with a wider assortment at Dale Hollow Marina (pictured above) .
