Best lake choices near Anniston
Anniston sits in Calhoun County at a bass-fishing crossroads: Neely Henry Lake is close to the north, Logan Martin is a short drive southwest, and Weiss is within reach to the northeast. That central location gives Anniston and Oxford anglers more quality-lake options than almost anywhere in East Alabama.
Choose hard-fighting spotted bass on Neely Henry or Logan Martin's current and docks, or shallow largemouth on Weiss, all close to Anniston.

| Neely Henry Lake | Coosa River current, riprap, and hard-fighting spots | Spotted & largemouth bass |
