February 23, 2026 Weekly Lake Lanier Striper Fishing Conditions

Water Temp: 50-53

Clarity: Clear main lake. Creeks are slightly stained as you work towards the back. Upper river arms are stained to muddy with recent rains.

Lake Level: 1065.63 (5.37 ft below full pool)

Weather Trend – Back to February weather with lows in the 30’s and 40’s and highs back to the mid 60’s by the end of the week. This should give us a little bump in water temps by the weekend, but not much.

What’s Working Right Now

Down lines continue to work in the 40-60ft range with herring, small trout and medium shiners, but flat lines and planer boards are really becoming the better option as the water warms up into the mid 50’s.
