 RIVER INFORMATION


Clinch River - Norris Tailwaters  

The Clinch river above Clinton, Tennessee (tailwaters of Norris Dam) is stocked with Rainbow and Brown trout by the Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency. This stretch of river is among the best trout fishing in Tennessee. The stocked fish are able to spawn here. The river is fished by wading fisherman when Norris Dam is not producing electricity. Fisherman bring their small boats out to fish for trophy Brown trout when the water is high.

Holston River - Cherokee Tailwaters

The Holston tailwater, which extends 19 miles, is managed as a put-grow-and-take fishery, with nearly 200,000 trout stocked annually, mostly as fingerlings in the fall. The fish grow fast in the food-rich tailwater, and typically are fat and very healthy by spring. Opportunities for wading and floating, and is gentle and easy to float in a canoe. The Nances Ferry access at the lower end of the tailwater has a boat ramp, and anglers can fish the lower tailwater with regular motorized boats given at least a moderate flow.

South Holston Tailwaters

The South Holston is among the smallest of East Tennessee's tailwaters, and the dam has only a single turbine. Unlike the Clinch River, below Norris, which can flow at a variety of levels, the South Holston is either on or off. Either scenario offers fishing possibilities -- each to a different set of fishermen. When the Holston is off, it's a wading river. When it's on, it pretty much needs to be fished from a boat -- usually a drift boat or a jet boat.
