Inland Lake
Inland Lake is a 1,557-acre Birmingham Water Works reservoir on the Blackburn Fork in Blount County — clear, deep (mean depth 77 ft), 32 miles of shoreline, two public Hwy 75 ramps, $5 launch fee.

Inland Dam / Lower Pool
Deepest water in the reservoir near the 1939 earthen dam, 9 miles SSW of Oneonta — steep rock-bank shoreline, mean-depth 77 ft water, and the Inland Dam Road public ramp on Hwy 75 at the south end of the lake · Drop-shot a small finesse worm on the bluff walls; jigging spoon or Alabama rig when cold-water bass pull off the banks onto the deep-water channel · Summer + Winter

Inland Boat Landing / Upper Pool (Allgood End)
Shallower upper end of the lake near the Hwy 75 Inland Boat Landing Road ramp at Allgood, where the Blackburn Fork feeds in — timber edges, creek-channel mud and gravel, and secondary-point drops · Square-bill crankbait on the creek-mouth gravel; spinnerbait on the timber; shaky head on the secondary points · Spring + Fall

Blackburn Fork Inflow
Main river arm feeding the reservoir from the north — stained water after rain, timber edges, and a current-affected creek channel where largemouth and crappie stack in the back of the pool · Crankbait on the clear-to-stained seam after rain; jig in the timber; long-line a 1/16 oz crappie jig through the standing timber · Spring

Mid-Lake Standing Timber
Mid-pool flooded timber pockets left when the BWWB filled the reservoir in 1939 — untouched cover on a clear, deep lake with undeveloped shoreline · Flip a jig to the biggest stumps; pitch a Texas-rigged worm; drop-shot the deeper edges where timber tops out at 15-20 ft · Spring + Fall

Main-Lake Rock Bluffs
Steep rock bluff banks on the main-lake side near the dam — clear deep water against broken rock, the classic Alabama-reservoir summer and winter pattern on a deep reservoir · Drop-shot on the bluff ledges; shaky head worked slow on the broken rock; jerkbait on sunny winter afternoons when the surface warms above 48°F · Summer + Winter

Drawdown Line (Late Fall / Winter)
Seasonal 16-plus-foot drawdown line exposed by the BWWB's water-supply pull — new structure every winter as the lake drops, stumps, rock points, and old creek channels surface as fishable edges · Work the drawdown edge with a crankbait parallel to the new shoreline; jig the exposed stumps; drop-shot where the old creek channel swings through · Late Fall + Winter
