Needs to have boat access.   Aaron Owens (Aaronowens) New Member Username: Aaronowens Post Number: 37 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Thursday, October 02, 2003 - 06:39 am:    I've stayed on the GA side near Toccoa. Tugaloo State Park I believe. It has a boat ramp and the sites are pretty nice.   Michael Noe (Noee) Senior Member Username: Noee Post Number: 751 Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Thursday, October 02, 2003 - 07:09 am:    Clemson side has some decent spots and many boat access points too. SPent many a day and night in and around that lake, but never ate the fish. Not sure if you can eat 'em these days or not.   Aaron Owens (Aaronowens) New Member Username: Aaronowens Post Number: 38 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Thursday, October 02, 2003 - 10:36 am:    LOL Mike. I think I would have went hungry with my fishing luck! Another lake I would recommend upstream is Lake Jocassee. Very beautiful with mountainous surroundings. Clear water and some waterfalls coming directly into it. Not as crowded especially during the week.   Michael Noe (Noee) Senior Member Username: Noee Post Number: 754 Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Thursday, October 02, 2003 - 08:48 pm:    Oh yeah, Jocassee, isolated, somewhat remote, steep banks, very nice, right on the foothills trail as I recall. I spent a lot of time in the those foothills, figured a lot of things out. Funny, I didn't learn about Oconee? nuclear power plant until my senior year! 10 miles from campus. I wonder if Duke Power is still running those "perpetual energy" experiments up there?   Kristopher March (Apexdisco) Member Username: Apexdisco Post Number: 163 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Thursday, October 02, 2003 - 09:05 pm:    Jocassee looks nice. I wonder how the fishing is up there?   Matthew Gibson (Mattgibson) Member Username: Mattgibson Post Number: 88 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Sunday, October 05, 2003 - 10:44 pm:    You guys need to come a little farther north. Come up to the Chatahoochee Natl. Forest and Lake Chatuge/ Hiawassee/ Helen area. If you like big crappie- this has been the best year we've ever had! Some good spots up here- some not so nice. Leaves will be turning in next two weeks- watch out for the "leaf lookers." Will probably have our first frost tommorow on the mountain tops. -Matthew G.
