• Where to Fish on Saraland Reservoir

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include longear sunfish, dollar sunfish, blackbanded darter, bluegill and redfin pickerel. Presence in the area does not guarantee a fish in this exact water on the day. Take Saraland Reservoir a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 82°F; by January the average is down near 50°F. The water stays warm and open throughout. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. On Saraland Reservoir that shapes the whole year.
