What you can catch
Fish you can catch at Star Point Dock
Dale Hollow Lake holds these, according to the county research behind this site and TWRA’s own species notes.
Fentress County includes part of the reservoir’s upper Obey/East Fork arm, but read the CONFIDENCE note, the developed marinas and ramps are all in Pickett and Clay counties, roughly 30 minutes west of Jamestown, so this is a “nearest major water” for Fentress rather than a water with Fentress access.
