Bank Fishing Taylorsville Lake

[Jeffflem514]

I actually fished the tailwaters last night. Caught quite a few crappie on minnows. The first two we got were really nice 11 inchers. Saw some large cats and tried cut skipjack I caught on a minnow but had no luck.

Is it allowed/legal to bring a cooler with alcohol to the bank of Taylorsville lake? I'd like to find an area with the fire rings and do some night fishing and build a small campfire. Thanks for any replies and information.

The tailwaters is where I have had some of my best days on Taylorsville. It's very hit or miss depending on how to spillway is flowing. I have had some 14-15 multi species fish days chucking lipless, med diving, and jerkbaits into the spillway current.

attached is probably 1/3 of one day there

There's bank access over by settlers trace marina. The marina is off limits for all tournaments, but people push it anyway, especially to the left (looking from the parking lot). However, I've had pretty good luck from a boat and the bank, specifically near the drain culvert to the right of the ramp (you'll drive over it when you drive in). Bass, bluegill, catfish, and the occasional white bass/hybrid. Probably catch a saugeye too if there's shad there. Easy walking, flat and there's an old road bed leading to the culvert. Hope this helps. Good luck, post some pics if you catch any!
