I think I get checked a lot because 90% of my fishing is done below dams with the crowds.

Bingo you win...LOL. When you fish tailrace's a lot from the bank you will get checked a lot....and then they get to know you and walk on by you....my experiences anyway.

It concerns me that I haven't been checked and makes me wonder how many people are sitting on the bank of these state agency lakes without a license or permit. I am pretty certain many of the ones I see don't even know you need one. In all the years I fished below Pickwick Dam from both the bank and boat I never saw a TWRA, Coast Guard, TVA, or any other type of enforcement agency working there. TVA police did patrol the campground but that was about it. I do know there are no TVA police there anymore as they were disbanded at Pickwick.

Mike that is a good idea taking a photo of the license. I just did that myself.

When i fished trout waters in GA i got checked a lot. DNR was serious about checking people there.

I saw a guy get a $1000 fine for not having a trout stamp and having a limit of fish. $125 per fish.

I have yet to be checked here.

I've been taking photos of my licenses, trout license TWRA lake licenses ever since I got to TN. I have forgotten my fishing licenses on my dresser but I always have my phone. I also usually make copies of my licenses and keep one in each vehicle as well as one in with my boat papers.

I was checked four times last year. Three on JPP and once on Dale Hollow.

Plus creel checked about six times.

And this is ON the lakes as I have not fished FROM the bank except at the stairs below OH dam.

www.1clickoutdoors.com contracted with the TWRA on Jan 14th, 2013 to develop the apps. They are just now coming on line. Andriod does not seem to be up yet.

Perhaps the Obamacare programmers are also working on the Android app.
