This Lake is my Hidden Jewel and is located in the Nantahala National Forest, with 1,605 acres and 42 miles of shoreline. Nantahala lake is about 12 miles from Andrews, North Carolina. The two greatest features of this lake is that it doesn’t contain any Spotted Bass or Blueback Herring Bait Fish like all the other lakes I guide on. If you ever get tired of catching Spotted Bass and just want a day of catching Largemouth and Smallmouth, this is the lake! Nantahala Lake is the clearest lake I guide on and there are some houses and boat docks. The best techniques for catching fish on Lake Nantahala are small jigs, shaky head, crankbaits, dropshot and top water. Book a Fishing Guide on Nantahala Lake
