The bass in Calhoun are amazing if you find the right spot. What makes the chain of lakes so interesting is that they seem to go through so many changes. What might be a weedy area one year is barren the next. At least that's what pro angler Karen Savik observed in a story I wrote a couple of years ago:

If you were to grab a topographical map of the lake bottom, it's also very apparent that Calhoun has simply unbelievable structure. The drop-offs around shore are really special.
