Fishing in Tennessee. Vacation Or Fish Dockside!

Tennessee is a top destination for those that love to fish. The Smoky Mountains offer a picturesque backdrop for those that love nature and the thrill of catching "the big one".

The numerous mountain streams in the Smokies offer great opportunities for catching river trout. Eastern Tennessee is renowned for the great stocked lakes that have large and small mouth bass, black bass, perch, crappie, catfish, sunfish, walleye and bluegill.. just to name a few.

Fishing licenses are required for anyone over the age of 16. They can be obtained at any bait and tackle store or by visiting any State Wildlife Resources Agency Office. Information on Tennessee Fishing Licenses can also be found here: State Wildlife Resources Agency Office
