This winter I will be traveling thru Tennessee and thought why not try for muskies in February. I've done some looking on line for who to go with and where, but would like to hear some more options

thanks

I member of our old Muskie INC chapter (Colorado) lived in Tennessee and entered fish all winter long I don't remember the bodies of water or the lures. He won lunker of the month all winter long.

The coal plant at Melton Hill is in the process of being shutdown, runs only occasionally, and Cory Allen no longer guides in TN.

Maybe reach out to that Steve Paul guy? I think he caught the state record down there a while back. LOL.

Center Hill Lake, Melton Hill Reservoir, Watts Bar Reservoir and my favorite lake is Parksville Lake (Ocoee). Muskies are reaching near the 40" mark, but if you are lucky enough to time it just, right, you can be surprised with multiple Muskies a day. It is a beautiful lake with a Canadian charm, a lot of rock shoreline with laydowns and is only 2,000 acres. I like to fish the far east of the lake in Sylco bay and creek area.
