I've had some success bank fishing below Watts Bar and Chickamauga Dams with the high water and current to be expected at this time of year. The bite seems to be late in the day and up until it is too dark to see. A head-mounted light is a useful accessory. The catch consists of an assortment of various types of panfish which do very well in the skillet. Sauger used to be common but are now rare. Our friends in WV are fortunate to have such a great sauger fishery. Anyone with input on this subject, or who have fishing reports from elsewhere around this area, please let us hear from you.

Welcome Scaledown. I'm about 90 minutes north of Watts Bar near Douglas Lake and the Holston River. Cherokee Lake is about 30 minutes north of me. My fishing is restricted to spring and summer months.
