First, glad to see the Jocassee Fish Forum.  We try to make at least 3-4 trips a year to fish Jocassee from Lake Chatuge. With exception of last year due to virus.

Wow that 4 days of fishing was painful. No fish, not even a strike.  Graphed numerous fish at 20' down to 200'.  Did the usual downrigging/lead line trolling at various depths/speeds with Sutton #44, 31, 29, Mich Stinger/Scorpions- Dirty White Boy, Brown/Rainbow Trout, various Rapalas, Yo-zuri, and minnows.  Nothing.  Talked to a few other anglers and they too caught nothing.  The dam, roundhouse, etc. were stacked with fish. 

So, does anyone know why it was a "no-bite zone" or know of any fish caught during that time.  Never happened before to us, it was strange.  Will be back to try again...Jocassee is a beautiful lake.

Thanks,
