Howdy, I'm still relatively new to Clarksville and haven't really been able to adequately scratch the proverbial itch of my compulsion to catch fish since moving here last year.

 

I'm looking for suggestions on places to fish and/or other locals who might want to fish together. Don't have a boat and I'm working on getting a kayak. 

 

Thus far I've tried fishing the Cumberland around the marina and downtown with zero success for bass (just a few skipjack and white bass). Other than that I've rented a kayak and floated down the Red River, and waded a the Sulphur Fork down in Charlotte a couple times. 

 

Looking at getting access to Lake Kyle, and would love to explore Kentucky Lake/LBL areas. 

 

Thanks

The small lakes inbetween Kentucky and Barkley are great fishing 

It's been 35 years since I fished the Cumberland below Cheatham Dam.  It does not have a great reputation for bass fishing.  When I was a teenager I waded several creeks around Dickson for smallmouth.  Jones Creek and Big Turnbull Creek were very good.  I would think the creeks between Dickson and Clarksville would have a lot of potential but I've never fished them.  I think I remember fishing Yellow Creek once but didn't catch anything.

 

Not that close to you but the Buffalo River has some good fish and you can rent canoes and kayaks.  It a very popular canoe rental destination.

I'm not seeing those on the map. Can you point me to some?

I was a little kid so not real sure but they are just manmade ponds in LBL, near the top above the elk and bison thing 

 

it might seem hokey as an adult , but I remember thinking it was amazing 😂
