As most of you know I fish the Hiwassee/ Chickamauga areas most of the time out of convenience to home. This year as last after talking and hearing other fisherman on other Tenn(East Tenn) lakes there seems to be at times an abundance of small crappie, which I'm no biologist but must be a good sign for down the road. I spoke with a couple of guys who fished Tellico last week and were really disappointed with the fish up there being really thin. I will have to say that on the Hiwassee watershed that these keepers are super thick and after my first trip to Weiss this year I think we have the most chucky fish I have seen. Don't know the reason why but guess it has to do with food supply. Just like to hear from some of you other guys who fish these other reservoirs and give your opinion and state your home fishing Lake. Thanks
