I grew up fishing on Fontana. It can have some great fishing in the spring of the year when the fish are shallow. Later in the year it gets tough and the best fishing is often at night. I remember one year in August when we found some nice smallmouth schooling around a hump and had some great fishing, but otherwise it is tough this time of year.
Horse Cove I think it's called is where we always stayed. They have camping and a boat ramp, aint been up there in several years but like was mentioned earlier this time of year night is best but I have had decent luck trolling a spoon or Rapala parallel to the bank around the rocky points in Hazel and Eagle creeks.
