You can catch some 40" plus fish below Melton Hill this time of year trolling LARGE blue and chrome deep runners. Motor up to the dam spillway, turn downstream, throw out your lure behind the boat with your motor in drive at idle speed and troll the lure downstream along the line formed by the current coming from the turbines and the eddys on the spillway side. Be careful not to let out too much line because it is only 15 or 16 feet deep through there. I have tried to use a bait that runs shallower but strikes are 10-1 better using a deep runner that gets down at the top of the rocks. Of course you can always use live bait, but it seems I catch much larger fish on the plugs (but not quantity). I have consistently caught 40" plus fish (three over 40" in one trip last year) using this technique. I occasionally pick up large walleye or sauger as I approach the end of the lock wingwall if I am using a deep Redfin. I would not recommend this technique below Ft. Loudon because it is much shallower and more dangerous. At Ft. Loudon I use cast and retrieve or live bait only. Good luck.
