Ft. Loudoun Dam Tailwaters


I went below Ft. Loudoun Dam for about 2 ½ hours this evening.  I got bait easily below Tellico Dam, good sized (2.5 – 3.5”) shad minnows – threadfins, gizzards, and alewives/bluebacks.  The pictures above show the differences in the four types of shad minnows.

I caught a 15 lb drum (got to love those trash fish!) and a few small catfish – I fished the end of the wing wall coming off the lock side of the dam, caught one small largemouth. I never located any stripers - oh well, that's what keeps me coming back, always trying to figure 'em out.
