Today's bite outlook for Nimrod Lake peaks at 98 out of 100 — prime. That score weighs water temperature, barometric pressure and its trend, wind, cloud cover, solunar windows and the pool trend against bass-behavior research. The hour it peaks, how the rest of the day scores, and the seven-day outlook with the best window flagged are in the BassHawk app.
Nimrod Lake is reading about 67°F, from U.S. Geological Survey data as of Sunday, November 1, 2026. BassHawk refreshes it every day.
Nimrod Lake is 0.7 ft below normal pool. Falling water pulls bass off the flats and onto the first drop; rising water pushes them into flooded cover. The daily guide report factors the trend into where it sends you.
Largemouth on Nimrod Lake spawn by water temperature, not the calendar: they stage around 50–58°F, move up between 58 and 62°F, and bed through roughly 62–70°F, with the north banks and pockets warming first. Nimrod Lake is reading about 67°F today, and BassHawk tracks it daily with its two-week trend. The full temperature-by-phase table is in BassHawk's guide to bass spawning water temperature.
Nimrod Lake runs to about 40 ft at its deepest, across ~3,550 acres. BassHawk carries survey-grade depth contours for the whole lake, with labels that adjust to today's pool level, so the number on the contour is the depth you will actually see on the graph.
Nimrod Lake has 7 public boat ramps mapped on BassHawk. The ramps are Anderson Branch Boat Ramp, Carden Point Boat Ramp, Carter Cove Boat Launch, Carter Cove Boat Ramp, County Line Boat Ramp, and 2 more. Every trip plan starts from the ramp you pick and routes the day from there.
