Unfortunately, the lake closest to Kingsport, Boone Lake, is drawn down about 10ft below winter pool and is very shallow and hazardous to navigate. Here is a link to the full story, TVA - Boone Dam Project
Basically seepage around the dam. There is a link on that site to a current newsletter updating the progress of repairs which are not expected to be completed for another 4 years. I lived in Kingsport for a couple years after college and caught some nice Crappie there in the springtime. My advice would be to take boat down Highway 11W to Cherokee Lake, about a 45 minute drive. Our fall fishing is good, and at times can be great!!
