They are in most of the small creeks as others have mentioned
Books A Million, Barnes and Noble for a invaluable Gazetter and my go to for all fishing spots is the Middle Tenn Fishing Map guide see www. scmaps.com
I have waded many of the creeks first located in the Tennessee Atlas and Gazetteer. I keep the map and my rods in the truck and when Im out anywhere I'll stop and check out the creeks. Some I fish some I don't. I passed my favorites to and from work 3 or 4 different streams, all good.
I doubt anyone would commit to a creek and guarantee you'll catch but if the creek looks good it probably is. Its up to you to figure out how good.
Keep in mind there is a lot of disagreement as to the trespass laws and many people do not want strangers on there property and if your wading your probably trespassing. If you don't make a pest of yourself most seem tolerant. Some will have you arrested. I have had great luck and if in doubt I dont unless I ask first.
I'll give you a place to start with an understanding..its a catch and release stream. Take a fish out and your no longer in harmony with the stream and you wont be welcomed back, there are holes so deep if you fall in you'll sink to the bottom lost forever. Its how the stream protects itself from anyone out for a cheap thrill.
Under the bridge in Wartrace, under the power lines. Leave no trash or signs that you were there return the fish to the water.
Dont think for a minute you dont need a felt sole on your shoes. Overlook that one thing and your going to take a bath. I can guarantee that much ...twice
