Middle TN Walleyes/Sauger

[backlashed]

What is everyone's favorite lake in middle Tennessee to troll for walleye & sauger in the summertime. And is anyone catching them yet?

I caught several last summer trolling on the Cumberland river in Old Hickory lake.

I enjoy sauger fishin near Savanah TN (Father in Law lives there) when we visit. I have caught a few near New Johnsonville, but have heard the mouth of the Duck River near Cuba landing is a good spot too. I intend to try it soon, but haven't heard of any good sauger reports yet.

sauger seems to be slow on old hickory this year. no current. jim duckworth said he has cancelled all of his scheduled sauger trips on OH this year.

When they are running 2 turbines the sauger fishing is pretty good below Ft. Loudon dam.

I used to know an older fellow who caught lots of walleyes below Great Falls Dam....
(Rock Island) in the headwaters of Center Hill lake. He trolled plugs , and always
cleaned a nice mess. There is a good ramp below the dam at the State Park there.
Good luck !

I went with a friend who fishes for sauger and walleye all the time. He knows Tellico and the are around Stakleys Mill real well. We caught a limit of suger this morning in about 4 hours. Actually he caught 6 of the 10. We floated with the current and jigged 3/4 oz lead heads with Salt Water assassins. Not my favorite way to fish but it is productive at times.
