Best Bass Waters - Bassmaster-ND - 03-30-2004
[size 1]This is from Field and Stream [/size]
North Carolina
State record: 15 pounds 14 ounces, William H. Wofford, 3/29/91, private pond, Union County
Best water: Harris Lake. “The lake provides cooling water for the Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant. It is relatively shallow, and a change in plant operations led to an increase in phosphorous input to the lake, which in turn has boosted productivity. In order to manage the lake for large bass, the NCWRC enacted a 16- to 20-inch slot limit.” —Lawrence Dorsey, fisheries biologist, North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission

Sleeper: Salem Lake. “It’s a small reservoir in the heart of Winston-Salem, but fishing pressure is limited by several factors. First, only boats with 40-horsepower-and-less motors are allowed. Secondly, it closes at sunset, so there is no nighttime angling.”
