No I have not. I need to go. I have been to Wilson and Wheeler. You can't fish them from the bank like at Pickwick. Used to go to Cordell Hull but the good fishing spots from the bank below the dam have been closed for almost 2 years now. I go below Normandy in the Winter and early Spring for a close Trout waters...even though it is just stockers it is a lot fun. Fishing below Center Hill is good when they are not generating....I walk up to the water fall and catch a several different specie of fish. My son and I limted out on Walleye last Spring below Normandy. We were fishing for Trout but started catching these 20 inch Walleye. I let my son keep those....but they are good. I am open to going anywhere I know there are fish. I need to try Nickajack.

Regards

Nickajack is good from the bank.TVA did a good job with a pier and sidewalk.Pickwick is a long way.I walleye fish the duck that feeds the lake you get some bigger fish moving up the river to spawn.Below the dam is good to.The part of the duck I fish we catch big smallies,whites,and walleyes.I will be glad to help you all I can below Nickajack from boat or bank.3 months ago we landed a 70pound blue.I have had some bad days there and some of my best.Its hard for me to find a steady partner anymore and my kids need a few more years before I take them out for the big ones.I dont hunt or fish much alone anymore far from home.

Thanks a lot....I appreciate that. Nickajack is only a little farther drive for me than Pickwick.
