Green Sunfish
While Chattanooga, Tennessee, is famed for its Tennessee River fishing, the often-overlooked green sunfish offer a fun and accessible alternative. The smaller creeks, ponds, and backwaters that feed into the Tennessee River and Chickamauga Lake are hotspots for these panfish. Spring and early summer, during their spawning season, are the best times to target them. Look for shallow, protected areas with plenty of cover, such as submerged logs, weeds, and rocky banks. A simple bobber and worm rig is a surefire method, but small spinners or nymphs can also be effective. A local tip: explore the creeks and ponds within the Chickamauga Wildlife Management Area for excellent green sunfish fishing. The green sunfish population around Chattanooga is generally healthy, and they are known for their feisty fight, making them a great target for anglers of all skill levels. Don't forget your fishing license!
