Its the Middle of February and the water surface temperature is in the mid 40's. (what a cold winter we had this year)
Stripers (Rock Fish) are being caught in the tail-waters. and in some part of the river in 15' of water while the generators are running, Shad is the primary bait for quality fish.
White bass (strip bass) are being caught on flats around 8'-10' deep on spinners or anything shiny with a hook, lots of fun....on the upper Tennessee river and around the steam plant.
A lot of catfish are starting to being caught in the main lake in many areas. Shad is the better bait to use ( if you can find any). Bluff walls and docks are being targeted by a few anglers in search of bluegill. Crickets are being used by most anglers.
Deep crappie are starting to be caught while using jigs and spoons in select areas in the river. Points, drops and areas where current may influence the crappie and give them an area to ambush bait fish are the types of areas where crappie may be located.
Bass are being caught along point drops that are positioned along the main lake on one side and shallower water on the other side. The side adjacent to the main channel seems to be the area that needs to be targeted. Twelve feet of water seems to be the better depth.

If you are new to fishing you might consider hiring a fishing guide. They can also provide guidance on how to bait a hook and reel a fish in.
