My grandfather said that when he they moved from Pittsburgh PA there were walleye in priest

Ive always understood that the same way. Walleyes prefer hard bottom any time they can find it any time of the year. I think that is why saugers do so well in the river systems down south, with the random current flows and drastic water level changes, they cant find a stable comfy place to do what they need to do. Thats what ive always read atleast. Vernon Summerlin has several good articles about TN walleyes.
As far as priest goes, i dont really know. From what ive read, the TWRA made several big Whoopsies with thier walleye stocking programs a decade or so ago. Bringing several different walleye "species" (for a lack of a better term) some from state A and some from state B and they never jived. Some lakes down here though have a pretty good walleye fishery, so they are getting it all worked out.
