About Pickwick Lake
Pickwick Lake is a 43,100-acre TVA reservoir shared by Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee, renowned for its crystal-clear water and exceptional smallmouth bass fishing. The lake's rocky bluffs, gravel bars, and deep ledges create prime conditions for some of the biggest smallmouth bass caught anywhere in the Southeast. The dam tailrace is a legendary spot for both smallmouth and striped bass action.
The Alabama portion of Pickwick features 496 miles of shoreline with diverse structure including rocky points, creek mouths, and sandy flats. Largemouth bass, crappie, and catfish round out a fishery that offers something for every angler. Winter sauger fishing near the dam is a local favorite.
Florence and Muscle Shoals on the Alabama side provide marinas, boat ramps, and full amenities. Iuka, Mississippi, offers additional access points on the western shore. The lake's clear water and scenic bluffs make it popular for both fishing and recreational boating.
