Hey everyone,
Newer angler here. took my son to fish today for his first time with just a simple hook and worm, same with me, down at Percy. Unfortunately we didn't catch anything. It wasn't only us having a rough day, couple of guys were on a boat a bit down the bank and weren't catching anything either. Once I got home I got interested in how to use my jigs. I have a few swim, and shaky head jigs. As well as a blooper and a few selections of plastic worms. Apparently there's a whole lot more than I realized to those baits. Hopefully I can use those to my advantage in the future to catch some good fish once I get the hang of it.
Which brings me to the question:
Id eventually would like to go out and catch dinner every so often. Is there a stream fairly close to Middle TN that is clean enough to eat the fish out of? Percy and Cumberland is out of the question for me, but I was curious about upstream Old Hickory? Hell, don't even mind having a nice scenic trip to a good place out in BFE.
My interest in fishing and hunting is increasing and the unfortunate thing is that, being inexperienced, I have to start from the bottom up. Though thats also where I learn the most, through trial and error. Id eventually would like to do the same with hunting big game.
