Thanks for all the replies, Guys...it's a special place...mant good, memorable times there over the years...

Willy there are 25lb lake trout to be had up there...largemouth, smallmouth, crappie, bream, and of course catfish...I go there to play and to Hartwell, Murrray and Clark's Hill for STRIPERS!!....:sun:
 
The last picture w/the dog...that's swinging walk bridge over the river that's a part of MILES AND MILES of hiking trails all over these mountains for those of you who are into hiking...me?...I'd rather cruise around in a V20...:beer:
 
heres some pics I took a little while back of Jocassee and the surrounding area

From Bad Creek reservoir(over Jocassee)












the trout hatchery, I asked if they charged tourist to take pictures with their tackle to photo shop a back ground in










various sites to see






















this Civil war era tunnel(attempted) is pretty cool












If you've never been to the SC Upstate, its a treat. Bad Creek Reservoir, feeds into lake Jocassee, Jocassee feeds into Keowee. They have tunnels from each lake for the water to pass, the water turns turbines that produce power, during low power needs, they reverse the turbines and pump water back up to insure they have what they need for peak usage. On lake Keowee, they have a Nuclear Power plant. You can't access much of Bad Creek, Jocassee has a few houses on it, but is still mostly unspoiled, Keowee is home of the rich transplanted Yankee, more people from Ohio than are still in Ohio
 
Great pics, Dave!!...things I've never seen...I've always got the boat when I go that way...even back to the days when I had a 14' semi-v alum w/a 10 hp POS Chrysler...almost toured the bottom of the lake in that one...lol...
 
Hey Reel, did you know that back when Clemson University had a producing farm they stored the cheese they made in the tunnel. As soon as you walked into teh tunnel, the temperature was about 20 degrees colder than outside. The trout hatchery is pretty cool, they have about 20 pens that have the fish separated by size, the stream right beside it feeds water into it, they oxygenate it with pure O2. The brood stock were pretty big. I know people that would kill to have a trout that size on the other end of a fly
