Current Fishing Weather
Wind Speed and Direction
Wind Direction:
Wind Speed:
Wind Direction and Speed are one of the most important aspects for choosing a fishing spot. An offshore wind can help land-based anglers with longer casting distances, while an onshore wind will make kayak fishing safer. Often fish will also move to certain feeding areas depending on the wind direction. Check out the long term wind forecast at the charts below.
Fishing Barometer
Atmospheric Pressure:
Change since midnight:
Trend for next 6 hours:
Atmospheric or Barometric Pressure affects fish activity. The best fishing can be had on a rising barometer and also the time just before it is falling. A steady barometer in the higher ranges can also mean good fishing. A falling or low barometer reading without much change is usually not a very good time for fishing.
UV Effect on Fishing
As a rule of thumb, the higher the UV index, the deeper fish will move. Shallow water fishing is best done at times with a low UV index. When the UV is high, stick to early mornings, late evenings and shaded areas. The effect is less noticable in deeper water, but often a higher UV index can produce good results in the deep.

Fishing Overview Marietta
Marietta fishing revolves around the cool, clear Chattahoochee River to the east and a ring of public lakes and neighborhood ponds scattered around Cobb County. Within a short drive you can fish moving water for trout and bass or still water for crappie, catfish, and panfish, giving local anglers flexible options in every season.
The Chattahoochee River below Morgan Falls Dam fishes like a classic southern tailwater. From late fall through early spring, trout fishing is the main draw, with rainbow and brown trout holding in deeper runs, seams, and undercut banks. Light spinning tackle with 4–6 lb fluorocarbon excels here; small in-line spinners, 1/16–1/8 oz marabou jigs, and tiny crankbaits are consistent producers when the water is clear. Fly anglers do well with nymph rigs—pheasant tails, hare’s ears, and midge patterns under an indicator—drifted through slower slots and current breaks.
As water temperatures climb in late spring and summer, the trout bite becomes more time-of-day specific, and many Marietta anglers shift focus to spotted and largemouth bass in the river and nearby lakes. On the Chattahoochee, look for spots along rocky banks, bluff walls, and current edges. Small swimbaits, 3–4 inch soft-plastic jerkbaits, and shaky heads with finesse worms are reliable. Fish early and late for the best surface activity; walking baits and poppers draw explosive strikes on overcast mornings.
Still-water Marietta bass fishing centers on small to medium reservoirs and ponds that warm quickly in spring. Largemouth bass move shallow to stage around points, laydowns, and the edges of emerging vegetation. A simple progression of squarebill crankbaits over rock, followed by Texas-rigged soft plastics pitched to cover, will put you in contact with fish. After the spawn, shift your attention to the first drop-offs and offshore brush; Carolina rigs, deep-diving crankbaits, and weighted worms dragged slowly along bottom are productive through the hot months.
Crappie are a high-percentage target in many area lakes, especially from late winter through mid-spring when they stack on brush, docks, and bridge pilings. Use ultralight spinning gear spooled with 4 lb line and work 1/32–1/16 oz tube jigs or curly-tail grubs in white, chartreuse, or shad colors. The key is to count down your jig and maintain a slow, steady retrieve at the depth where you first get bit. Once you locate a school, anchor or spot-lock and work the area methodically; crappie often hold tightly grouped.
Catfish and carp provide dependable, low-effort action around Marietta throughout the warm season. On the river and in ponds, focus on deeper bends, dam outflows, and channels. Simple bottom rigs with cut bait or nightcrawlers will take channel and blue catfish, while sweet corn or dough baits pitched to subtle current breaks will connect with carp. Fish just heavy enough weight to hold bottom and keep your rigs tight with rod holders or bank sticks.
Across all of Marietta’s waters, water clarity and flow changes drive daily adjustments. After heavy rain, target inflowing creeks and stain lines with brighter lures and added vibration. When the water is low and clear—especially on the Chattahoochee—downsizing line, lures, and indicators dramatically increases hookups. Keep a compact selection of finesse plastics, small hard baits, and subtle jigs, and match lure size and color to the prevalent baitfish and insect life you see on the water.

Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing. If the beach is shallow and the water is clear then twilight times are usually the best times, especially when they coincide with a major or minor fishing time. Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 1 beaches and bays in this area.
