Fishing on Lake Wedowee provides some of the best for Largemouth Bass, Channel Catfish, Black Crappie, and Bluegill.
According to the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, since the implementation of the slot limit, numbers of smaller bass are declining and numbers of fish longer than 14-inches are increasing. These improvements are a direct result of educating anglers on the importance of removing (harvesting) bass smaller than 13-inches. Continued harvest of small bass is necessary to ensure sustained improvements in the fishery.

A 9-inch minimum size limit on crappie in Lake Wedowee, as is the case in most of the Alabama public waters (10-inches in Weiss Lake), was instituted in October 1993. The crappie size limit, as with any fish limit, is as much an age limit as a size limit.
