the dam upstream to Weiss dam. Generally a river-run lake,
Neely Henry fans out toward the dam to offer more open water.
Neely Henry is one of the best kept secrets in Alabama. It is
overlooked because of the fantastic fishing provided by other
waters such as Lake Guntersville and Lake Weiss.

Fishing: Largemouth bass and spotted bass dominate Neely
Henry. The average size largemouth bass is 2-3 pounds and the
average spotted bass runs 2-4 pounds.
White crappies reach 11- to 12-inches in just two years. Getting
out for the spawn in early spring can provide crappie in bunches.
The fall is another good time for crappie fishing as they roam the
shallows again. There is some pretty good striped bass fishing at
the dam. 7-8 pounders are fairly common.
