    Default Anyone Fish Boone Lake?


    Hello all, I'm new to the forum - and back to crappie fishing after 20 years hiatus... found your forum last week and amazed at the info and generosity of those found here.

    Took my Dad to Boone Friday on an exploration/fishing trip. Long story short, searched main points & river channels deep 15-50ft. Saw some fish on finder but no takers. Using minnows & fly minnows tightlined. Water temp 44-46 degrees.

    Just wondering if we should have run up to river and try shallower? It's been a long time since we've crappie fished... anyone here fishing Boone? Are there any crappie left in this lake?

    Thanks to all for the great reading!:o

    I havn't fished Boone for crappie yet this year. I usally start fishing it in Mid February. I like fishing trees that have fallen into deeper water along the steep banks of Boone. I always start just off the bottom and work up about 5 feet at a time. Here is a link to the TWRA EAST TN FISHING REPORTS.

    I hope this is helpful to you
