zgonce Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 was wondering if there is anyone on here that has fished any of the nc mountain lakes like fontana and such the TVA lakes Quote
Randall Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 I grew up there and still fish them a few times a year. Quote
Randall Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 None of the info I could give you would be current as it's been a long while since I fished there so I am may not be much help but this time of year usually anywhere there is moving water like in the backs of creeks and rivers usually out fish the main parts of the lake. I have done well this time of year right below lake Cherokee which is a small lake that falls into Hiawasee. Spinning rods with light line 6lb test and finesse baits always do well there. Look for sudden changes in rocks and bottom make up and fish those well. I always did pretty well there with jerkbaits in the fall. Like I said, it's been a while but if you have never been there it may give you a start. Quote
pantherdev Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 The smallies in Fontana are schooled up and hammering the endless supply of threadfin shad. Look for the bait right now at 60 to 70 feet. Below that are the walleyes and right now they are scattered. Hit 'em with spoons jigged at the depth you see them. They are relating to rock points, but not on them. Good luck Quote
