Watauga Lake is located
in north east Tennessee and is surrounded by the
mountains of the Cherokee National Forest. With 100 miles of winding
shore line, and a surface area of 6,430 acres,
Watauga Lake has plenty of room for great fishing.
Primary fish species targeted are trout, both lake
trout and rainbow trout, and walleye. Bass fishing
can also be productive. |
