What's the best fishing around Cheoah and Fontana reservoirs this time of year?
I've been on Fontana a few times, but I'm really intrigued by Cheoah. Seems that cold water coming through Fontana dam would keep the fish active throughout the heat of summer. I've seen plenty of trout carcasses discarded there, but I've never actually fished it. What's the best way to fish it? Is there a certain generation schedule that works better? What techniques or lures work best?
