Hi, I live in TX and have never fished around Chattanooga, but my wife and I are considering hauling our yaks up in about a month for our 30th anniversary trip. We'd like to do some fishing from the yaks and creek wading (wading creeks down here is a very risky proposition). Particularly interested in getting species we don't have in SETX like smallies, Coosa, rockbass, yellow perch, etc. I actually have a business trip this week up there and was going to take my few off hours to scout a little bit.
Any suggestions on creeks to wade or yak with good public access points would be greatly appreciated. Not asking coordinates to your honey holes, just get me a good start.
Thanks in advance!

I was visiting friends in Chattanooga a couple of weeks ago. Didn’t do any fishing but I did observe people catching nice size shad from the bank at the base of the Chickamauga Dam on the Tennessee River. We also took a ride on the Southern Belle riverboat. The ticket taker was catching yellow bass and bluegill in between taking tickets. So I would guess anywhere you can find access should be good. Check with the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority).

Hi Banjo. Any suggestions on where we can be opportunistic in a couple weeks when we come to the area? Better boat ramps or other put-ins for yak fishing on the local lakes and creeks.

Fishing is good everywhere. Put in at the dam, fish the docks along the shoreline in the same side of the lake as the ramp. Put in at Chester Park and fish anywhere away from other recreational boaters. Put in at Skull Island and fish that area…so many places to fish to mention
