Watauga Lake Fish Stocking

Watauga Lake is located in north east Tennessee and is surrounded by the mountains of the Cherokee National Forest. With 100 miles of winding shore line, and a surface area of 6,430 acres, Watauga Lake has plenty of room for great fishing. Primary fish species targeted are trout, both lake trout and rainbow trout, and walleye. Bass fishing can also be productive.
