We used to fish Lake Hiwassee a lot. Walleye could be taken using dipsy divers to get our lures down. We met a couple of wise old-timers that caught a cooler full using some sort of wire braid line. Not sure what lures, but, usually some flavor of Rapala is in order. Beautiful, deep, TVA lake (like Fontana). Nantahala lake has a species calles Kokanee salmon that might be taken while trolling. However rare, the NC striper record was caught out of Hiawassee.
