I can think of about seven and MAYBE eight in Tennessee within a 2 hour drive of Nashville that have the potential to hold over trout in good years. Tumbling, Mill, Cane, Charles, Pine, Sink, Mountain, and MAYBE the Little Buffalo, and MAYBE the upper Collins in really wet years.
Pretty much ALL of the spring creeks suffer in drought years and don't hold trout over well. But when we get wet years with consistent rainfall to keep the springs flowing and cool in the summer, they can be awesome. The only thing that hurts them is that they only get stocked once or twice in early spring, and then the locals fish them (and the herons eat them, and a few just die, etc) all year. With a little better spring stocking and a "delayed harvest" stocking or two in early fall to give things a good bump, they could be awesome.
