Our cousin has a mountain house up in Newland, just outside of Boone, so we usually go up there once a year. We often fish the little places up on the Blue Ridge Parkway - lake Price, Moses H. Cone park, which has bass lake, etc, and then take the boat over to Lake James. There are walleye in there, and in Watauga lake. What do you fish for them with? There are walleye in Carters Lake, which is only about 30 minutes from my house? I might see about catching a couple next year.
