The Compleat Tennessee Angler: Everything You Need to Know About Fishing in the Volunteer State

Vernon Summerlin and Doug Markham have consulted with more than 60 of Tennessee's best fishermen and professional guides with more than 1,000 years of angling knowledge to reveal fishing secrets about all major Tennessee lakes. They will tell you

• Which fish are rated "best" on each lake
• How to locate your favorite fish
• When the fish will bite and when they won't
• Which baits, rigs, and techniques work best in every season
• How to contact professional fishing guides in each region
• Where to get shoreline boundary and topographic maps

"At a Glance" boxes provide information on the available species of game fish, geography, lake-bottom terrain, location, size, and winter and summer pools for each lake. An easy-to-read rating system tells in an instant if your favorite fish swims in a particular lake and how good the fishing for that species is. Includes an easy-to-understand glossary.
