Crappie fishing in Fontana Lake
I spend a lot of time fishing Fontana for bass (mostly) and large bluegill. I use a flyrod rod about half the time and just love fishing. It has taken some time to learn how to catch fish on this lake but I have finally gotten there. I grew up fishing for crappie in FL with my father, and I would like to get back into catching them. Fontana, being both deep and clear, is challenging to say the least. I have no idea of how to catch them here--it is completely different than where I grew up in the 50's and 60's. I have researched the archives here back to 2005 for all posts about crappie in Fontana, and while there are some posts on the subject there is really no useable information other than one post about using jigs where the Little Tennessee River enters the lake--and that was over 10 years ago. There is very little fishing pressure on this lake, I can fish all day during the week and see only a few boats fishing. After 10 years of fishing Fontana I have never seen anyone either fishing for crappie nor heard of anyone catching any when I've been at the boat ramp. I realize that this is a longshot but does anyone have any information on crappie fishing on the lake? Any help would be appreciated.
