On Dale Hollow the point that runs out on the left facing upstream from the Dam is a good place to fish. I believe it also has Cedar Hill Marina on it. There is or was a swinging bridge connecting the two parts of the point. Fish the main lake sides and out on the point. People like to fish around the Horse Creek marina area as well.
The Obey below is nice and about 1.5 miles wading but rest boat. The Hatchery Creek is great for kids, newbies to fishing or getting the skunk off. Currently most of Hatchery is closed and with all the heavy rain this year they are fixing a lot of the creeks embankments. The actual fish Hatchery itself is worth a trip (while we still have it).
Standing Stone State Park is a smaller lake up towards Dale Hollow as well. There used to be monster bass/big blue gill in it and you could rent paddle boats to get around.
You can go south on 111 there around Cookeville to Fall Creek Falls State Park. Very family friendly very good late spring-summer-fall fishing. Big blue gills (state record 3lbs) and big catfish whole eat them (state record channel 41lbs).
