I live 20 mins from Tellico Lake, 35 min from Ft Loudon, an hour from Watts Bar. Crappie fishing is trying at Tellico at times, the green carp guys say the same. Ft Loudon is better but farther to travel, and don't go there much if any. Watts Bar is difficult and they advise not to eat the fish or too much of them anyways, so i dont' got there either. I wish the fishing was better, I live where I live as this is close to family, (but not too close) and I don't want to live any where outside of E TN. I can go fishing and "waste" a portion of the day or all day and not spend much $$, so can't complain. Would like to report those days like some do of 50 or 100 fish with 2 limits, but then I would want to do it all the time and get frustrated if I didn't. LOL. When I retire, I would like to travel to some of the other lakes around to try those and maybe see what its like to catch 50 nice ones in a single day.
