East Tennessee’s Douglas Lake doing great so far!

The previous 2 years Douglas Lake has struggled to maintain water levels satisfactory for boating, fishing and other water activities.  So far this year the levels are excellent and many of the lake areas are now open for the first time in 2 years.

Last week we had the pleasure of fishing Douglas Lake with Captain Dave Berry, Smokies Angling Adventures.  Despite our lacking bass fishing skills, we faired really well with Captain David’s friendly guidence and all had a teriffic time.  My wife was more than happy to share with everyone she had caught the largest bass all by herself.

Several families seemed to be enjoying the various activities surrounding Douglas Lake and we noticed that campsites are filling fast with locals and guest from other states.  Water temp seemed to hover around 72 degrees and was very smooth.  This year is sure to be great on Douglas Lake!
