About this water
Nottely Lake is a 4,180-acre TVA reservoir nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Union County, Georgia. The lake offers excellent bass fishing, particularly for largemouth and spotted bass, along with good populations of crappie and catfish. The scenic mountain setting and relatively light fishing pressure make it a favorite among local anglers.
