About the Conecuh River below Point A Dam

Point A Dam sits on the Conecuh River near River Falls in Covington County, one of a pair of small hydroelectric impoundments – Point A and Gantt – on this stretch of south Alabama river. The reach below the dam is a tailwater in the working sense: flow is governed by generation rather than by rainfall, and the fishing changes hour to hour with what the turbines are doing. It is worth saying plainly that this is a warm-water tailwater. Point A is a shallow run-of-river impoundment, not a deep coldwater storage reservoir, and there is no trout fishery here and never has been. What the dam produces instead is current, structure and concentration.

That concentration is the appeal. Bass stack in the seams where fast water meets slow, and both largemouth and spotted bass are taken consistently from the rocky margins below the powerhouse. Catfish are the other mainstay and probably the more reliable one – channel cats throughout, flatheads in the deep scour holes and log jams, and blue catfish pushing up from further down the system. Bluegill, longear and redear sunfish fill the slack water in numbers, crappie hold around submerged timber, and bowfin and gar patrol the backwaters. Striped bass are present in the drainage and turn up occasionally in the tailrace.

Below the dam the Conecuh runs on through the Conecuh National Forest toward Florida, where it becomes the Escambia, and the character softens quickly into a sandy blackwater river.

The gauge below Point A Dam reports discharge and stage with no temperature sensor. Check discharge before going. Generation raises the water quickly and wading below any hydro dam is dangerous when the units come on.
