Subject: Tellico/Loudon, Tennessee
Submitted by Ron Scott
Date Fished: 4/9/2008
Water Temperature: 63
Water Clarity: 4 feet or greater Got the chance finally to get back on the water after 3 months and it was a beautiful day. My son and his partner have tournaments both Saturday and Sunday so this will be accurate but sparse. We fished from 11am until 5pm mainly on Tellico which is pretty new water for me as I normally fish Loudon or the river below the dam but we had a good day. We caught NO fish on spinnerbaits or swimbaits. Michael and myself put close to 30 in the boat today with about equal numbers coming off lipless crankbaits, jerkbaits, and 3/16oz jighead and finesse worms. We also caught fish on 3/8oz jig and craw. The size was on the poor side for us with only 4 good keepers. Michael's partner fished some other areas since we were scouting and he found some better fish with 1 over 6lb and 2 smalllmouth over 5lb so they may have a shot if they stay put, which they seldom do. BDP, if you read this here's the best advice I've got. If the weather stays fairly constant don't fish less than 3ft and not more than around 15ft. We didn't catch any fish real shallow or deep. Look for 5-10ft shelves or flats close to deeper water. All in all I enjoyed the day but will get back down on the river next time out. Ron
