Swan Creek anyone?

[speedyturtle]

This weekend I went out with my uncle to shoot some guns at The Swan Creek shooting range, this being my first time i didnt know all of the creeks that were back there, My question is does anyone fish that area? How is it? Wondering if its worth my time for a quick trip out there

I have bass/bream/crappie fished there in the past. Luck varied, but haven't been there in a while.

Yes, it's a good area. Swan Creek empties out into what is called the Decatur Flats. If you look on a map, the Tennessee River channel runs on the south side. The flats are one the north side.

WARNING -- There are stumps everywhere in the flats. If you have a Lowrance with the US Basemaps, it has a good map of the many dithces that run through there. Navionics and other premium maps doesn't have this info on their maps.

as noted above the flats are shallow and very stumpy. ive seen many bent props and worse, be carefull.

I fished swan creek during draw down last fall an did well. I tossed my kayak in at the turn off just south of the bridge before the range. I haven't made it back, but it's on my list of good skinny water areas!
