How’s the Trout Fishing Been?

[Randall53]

I’ve really missed the trout fishing this year. The streams I fish have really been impacted with high water a lot of the Spring with so much rain and high water. I’m honking of trying the area below Tim’s Ford Dam. I’m not very knowledgeable about this area. I use a open face spinner rig and chest waders. Any tips or dangers I need to know about? Thanks to anyone that responds.

We’ve had some good luck trout fishing in the Harpeth this season on rooster tails. I’ve even caught a few in the creeks off the Cumberland of all places. 

Just be careful in the high water.  We lost a prominent local business leader here in Nashville last weekend when he lost his footing fishing the Duck and got pinned under a tree.

We almost always use these holographic spinners from Walmart that come in a 5 pack. It’s the only place I’ve ever seen them. But they work.
