New to TN and parksville lake

[stuckinthetrees]

Hey guys I am new to TN and new to parksville lake. I will be fishing for bass and I will be Fishing mainly from the bank because I sold my boat before moving here from Alabama. Any tips on fishing the lake would be greatly appreciated. Tips on baits and areas to fish would be awsome.
Thanks in advanced guys

If I were you and I was fishing parksville without a boat, I would stop at all the pull off areas just past the dam. You can then go down to the banks and walk them while the water is down. It's not to bad. Throw jerk baits, crank baits, plastics, jigs. You can also fish below the dam. There are plenty of spots Good luck

Thanks for the tips. By below the dam do you mean the ocoee river???

Yep below the dam Ocoee river,,,mepps, rooster tails,,live minnows etc

I would say your best bet from the bank is below the dam. There are trout this time of year that will bite rooster tails. You can catch the crappie right against the turbines when the water is running and also some big spots in the current breaks. Good luck!

There was a great Parksville Lake map on here somewhere but I can't seem to find it. It has the entire layout with some hand drawn details and structure added in. Many someone can help find it?

If you search "big Parksville lake map" on CFF your first result will get you the map.
