TWRA has unveiled a new Fishing Forecast page on their main TWRA website. The goal is to build a comprehensive report each week about the fishing conditions on state lakes. You can find the Fishing Forecast at https://www.tn.gov/twra/fishing-forecast.html

Below is an example of the latest fishing reports:
