Old Hickory Dam.
Old Hickory dam can be a great place to fish from the bank if the current flow is just right. I prefer it when they are releasing 25,000 to 30,000 cfs and have two generators or more going. That's just me though. I seem to have the best luck in those conditions. My theory is that the heavier current pushes the fish towards the bank seeking cover and pack more tightly instead of being so scattered. It makes it easier to find them. I just have to move along the bank until I find them. I seem to do better in the winter. There's also less people there at that time. I've not had much luck this summer there. That may be because I go in the morning when I have time and based on the data posted on the website they are releasing more water in the afternoon.
