Was just back in chesapeake ohio,any where in Tn is good,yet farther west it will be advanced (spawn) normally about 2nd week of april Ky lake,Paris landing.Anyone can catch fish however guides Dave Stewart up at marshall county Benten Ky or Steve Mc adams down here.Fish tail lodge is 60 a night,clean neat and close to the lake with eateries within walking distance.
Most of the grass is down in tn,it wont however be topped that time of year.Lilly pads come up around 2nd week of april down around newjohnsonville.
Oddly must be because of the interstate road system it takes about same amount of time to drive to ky lake as does knoxville.
