Tuckertown Reservoir Fishing in Davidson County, North Carolina

• Overview

  Tuckertown Reservoir sits within Davidson County in North Carolina. It lies 574 feet above sea level. The water covers around 3.5 sq miles, which puts most of it out of reach from the bank. Some 34 miles of shoreline means conditions can differ from one end to the other. It ranks high for size among our Davidson County listings. 9 miles away sits Badin, the nearest town. It is 32 miles to High Point, the nearest city. The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on Tuckertown Reservoir

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Across Davidson County, recorded fish include green sunfish, bluegill, redbreast sunfish, redear sunfish and yellow perch. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. On Tuckertown Reservoir the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 78°F; the cold one sits at 39°F. The hard part of the year is the heat, not the cold. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Tuckertown Reservoir.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Failing this one, try Badin Lake, 6.7 miles away. Confirm before you fish Tuckertown Reservoir.
