I have been hearing a lot of talk about walleye below Patrick Henry dam,have they stocked walleye below the dam or have they washed thru the dam?

If there is any they are probably swimming up the Holston river to the dam. Patrick Henry doesn't have any that I know of.

Patrick Henry was stocked years back with walleye fry, but dang few were caught in the lake afterwards. most theories are that the fingerlings went through the dam. same way the rockfish supposedly got in Patrick Henry, coming from Boone. those old boys fishing inside of Eastman in jet boats show walleye on their youtube videos fairly regularly.

They were washed through I believe.
Most I've seen were within a few inches of each other

Back in the 80s and early 90s I fished a lot below Boone dam-some of the biggest hybrids and striped bass you ever saw came out of there.

yeah, they get fat real fast eating stocker rainbow trout. Tom Richards used to film below Boone pretty regularly...
