Fishing Overview for Old Hickory Dam

Old Hickory Dam’s tailwater on the Cumberland is famous for powerhouse current that concentrates striped bass, sauger, skipjack, and big catfish. Spring and early summer see strong striper runs, winter jigging for sauger is productive on current breaks, and bank anglers crowd the walls and platforms at Rockland Recreation Area while boats drift the main seam below the gates.

Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing.
