Knoxville has an abundance of local fishing spots

there are boat ramps and docks for water access

sit on the bank, fish from the pier

our parks offer miles of shoreline

cast a line from one of the greenway bridges

or sit a spell on the banks of the Quarry

grab your rod and reel and head for a spot near you!

Practically in our back yard, we have access to rivers, lakes, and numerous creeks and ponds that skirt alongside our local greenways and parks. From these shorelines and fishing piers, bank fishermen can catch a variety of fish — bluegill are often tops, but catfish, crappie and bass are also common catches. Bank fishing near the TVA steam plants gives anglers an opportunity to catch striped bass, musky and even paddlefish. Listed below are a few of the local favorites.

Greenways

James White Greenway - fish off the bridge over First Creek in front of the Marina
Neyland Greenway - fish off the bridge at Signal Mountain Cement Company
Will Skelton Greenway - fish off the bridge across from Island Home Airport
