Old Hickory is an interesting lake. Bluegill don't size well probably due to genetics. The World record Walleye came from here but our Walleye don't reproduce naturally anymore. Tremendous amounts of forage baitfish and a productive system overall. The lower end of the lake in most years suffers from low oxygen levels which results in a shallow (12') thermocline. No aquatic vegetation also hurts. There are other lakes in TN that have a bigger average but they are farther from home so, I fish for dinks or not at all

If I get out the remainder of July it will probably be a crappie stalk on the coastal marsh……
