Warrior Lake is the Black Warrior pool above Selden Dam, reaching upstream toward William Bacon Oliver Dam. Created in 1958, it offers sloughs and backwaters alongside the working river channel.

Turn off the channel for a slower pace
Work a weedless worm beside backwater wood for largemouth bass. Around brush, a small crappie jig lets you fish above the snag instead of pulling a hook through every branch. Start with the outside edge, especially where a short cast gives you better control.
Oliver Dam's tailwater is at this lake's upstream end. Below Selden, you're in the Demopolis pool. Those names are worth checking before choosing a launch or meeting another angler.
