Redfin Pickerel
If you're looking for a Redfin Pickerel adventure near Chattanooga, explore the creeks and smaller rivers that feed into the Tennessee River. These fish prefer clear, slow-flowing waters with plenty of cover. The best time to target them is during the spring and fall when water temperatures are moderate. Focus your efforts around submerged logs, weed beds, and rocky outcroppings. A lightweight spinning rod with small crankbaits or inline spinners is a great approach. Remember to use a wire leader as Redfin Pickerel have sharp teeth. A local access point is along Chickamauga Creek, where you can find wadeable sections with good pickerel habitat. While not a large fish, the Redfin Pickerel's aggressive strikes and beautiful markings make it a rewarding catch.
