Angler's Pictures from Wilson Lake and Wheeler Tailwaters

Email your pictures to Doug Darr.
The smallmouth bass record for Wilson Lake and Wheeler tailwaters is ten-pounds, 8-ounces. We are still looking to certify lake record largemouth bass (8-pound minimum) and spotted bass (4-pound minimum). We also have an angler recognition program for other sport fish.
