Pickerel
Hey guys first post on here and I’m trying to find any places in middle Tennessee that have any of the three pickerel that inhabit the southern us ie Redfin, grass, and chain. I believe the chain pickerel is the most prevalent of the three in the state, mainly inhabiting the west. So far my search has only led me to one lake close to Jackson which is nearly 4 hours from my home. I have been wanting to Mark pickerel off the list for a while now and have been more interested recently. I have also heard they make great table fair. If anyone knows any ponds, rivers, or lakes In my general region that have any of the three I would greatly appreciate it.

Pickerel is more of a northern fish, but I was able to find this for you... https://www.aa-fishing.com/tn/tennes...r-fishing.html As far as eating them ??? They're not all that good to eat, they will have a weedy taste to them... so its said. |
Oh and welcome to the board :D
|
KY Lake has pickerel if that's close enough. Welcome!
|
I have caught a couple musky in KY Lake but not a pickerel. I hear Florida is a good place to catch pickerel. I use to catch grass pickerel in Ohio as a kid. I don't think they inhabit the stream anymore. To much agriculture runoff. Be sure to post you catch .

I caught a nice 24" pickerel in Ky Lake last year but it is a kinda rare catch would think it be hard to target just catching them.

I'm pretty sure that the Duck river used to have pickerel. Maybe still does. Might give TWRA a call and ask. Good luck.

White Oak creek(ky lake) has Plenty of them in it..We used to wear them out..Trouble was getting them in before line snapped..
|
A buddy of mine had a camp on Crooked Creek and he used to catch pickerel regularly while bass fishing.
Also, TWRA stocked musky in the Duck river maybe 15-20? years ago. The Duck dumps at Cuba Landing, so for sure musky could be in Kentucky lake. |
Duck River has Tiger Muskie in it for sure...fought one for some time before she won the battle before I landed her.
