Walleye thread 2 Where can I fish for walleye? Mountain reservoirs with significant walleye fisheries include Hiwassee (Cherokee County), Santeetlah (Graham County), Fontana (Swain County), 'Glenville' or Thorpe (Jackson County) and Lake James (McDowell/Burke Counties). Other mountain reservoirs with walleye fisheries include Bear (Jackson County), Nantahala (Macon County) and Chatuge (Clay County), where the current state record walleye (13 lbs. 8 oz.) was caught in 1986. Walleye are occasionally caught in other mountain reservoirs including Cheoah, Calderwood, Appalachia and Rhodhiss, but the waters listed above provide the best walleye fishing opportunities in North Carolina. In the northern Piedmont, walleye may be found in Lake Gaston near the Virginia border (Warren/Northampton Counties), where the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries stocks 100,000 walleye fingerlings annually. |
