7050 Acre Lake near Hayesville, North Carolina

This lake offers good Spotted Bass and Largemouth Bass fishing. In the past is was an excellent Smallmouth Bass lake, however the competition for resources with the introduction of Spotted Bass has limited their availability. Hybrid Striped Bass are also available certain times of year, as well as some of the best spring crappie fishing in all of Western North Carolina. Lake Chatuge is an extremely popular recreational destination for boaters.  This makes it necessary to adjust trips around peak seasons to avoid large crowds.
