A unique area of flowing water (and excellent fishing) is the Bouldin Canal which connects the Jordan and Bouldin arms of the reservoir.Bass are most often caught in areas of flowing water, such as below Mitchell Dam at the upstream end of Jordan Reservoir.
Jordan Lake Description
Jordan Reservoir is a 6,800 acre Alabama Power Company hydroelectric impoundment. It is located in central Alabama about twenty miles north of Montgomery. Jordan is the southernmost impoundment of the Coosa River chain of lakes. The Coosa River lakes are fertile, assuring high production of shad, which results in excellent growth and abundance of game fishes. There are two public access areas on Jordan Reservoir as well as a number of small marinas. Rotary Landing is located on the east side of the lake just above Jordan Dam off Highway 231. Bonner’s Landing is located on the west side of the lake off Highway 111 near Holtville. The bass fishery of Jordan Reservoir is a mixture of largemouth bass and spotted bass.Crappie are not as abundant in Jordan Reservoir as in many other Alabama lakes but their growth is excellent with many individuals exceeding one pound. White bass, striped bass and hybrid striped bass can all be found in Jordan Reservoir.This is also an excellent fishing location for the diverse catfish population of Jordan Reservoir, which includes channel catfish, blue catfish and flathead catfish.
