guys working as guides using jet boats on Holston below FT Patrick Henry dam. trout aplenty above the John B. Dennis bridge (AND down into Eastman) but some BIG smallies and occasional walleye are taken between the bridge & I-26 bridge. all kind of youtube videos...If you like to river kayak fish for bronzies

they used to do the "wink and nod" there. guards would see us (teens) fishing on the mountain side of the river. they'd stop & watch us and yell over "are you catching any?" i worked there for several years. the guards they have now call Kingsport PD/SWAT because most of them are too old to chase folks around on the mountain.Whoa!

Y'all just make sure you get out before BAE. You may not receive a warm welcome.
the Holston there may well be the only river navigable by boat that you cannot legally drift through & fish. i'm not sure how they legally justify that. they used to allow (YEARS ago) fishermen to pass through "IF" they called ahead of time & gave registration number of boat & identities of the fishermen.. You may not receive a warm welcome.
