early request i know, but wondering if anybody's fished it before.
next may i'm best man for a friend's wedding taking place at the jack daniels distillery and just found out we're renting a couple of houses on the lake in TN. some town called estill springs.
to be a long winter, and will have all the time to check websites on, but i thought i'd throw it out here now. thanks!
Stayed there chasing smallies for a week this last April. Also went to Jack Daniels.....and Estill Springs is THE town. No need to be in any kind of hurry about anything down there..... ;)
Nice place, nice folks. The lake is about 14,000 acres but fishes like 100,000. Gin clear and has some dandy smallies in it. Any kind of structure you want is there by the ton. I'ld say it's a "can't miss" kinda place. Y'all have fun now.....
well - went, saw & did not conquer....was suprised lake was still down 8-10 ft. did not get to ask anyone how's come so low. got out for 3-4 hrs each day sat. & sunday. "wedding guy" got 3-4 dinks and i had a huge smallie jump a couple of times only to break my line as it dove under boat. other than that, wedding was great, the river "jack" flowed all weekend long. boy that stuff has a kick. great time thou.
I fished Percy Priest and Old Hickory in late. If you are in that area you might want to spend a day on one of those lakes. I have a friend who guides on both Old Hickory and Percy Priest. If you are interested you can look him up. His name is Shay Doming and you can check out the website.
