Yellow Creek turns into the Tenn Tomm waterway. If you dont know where you are stay in the markers. Very pretty place, worth the tip just for the boat ride.

how long of boat ride is it to yellow and bear creek from jp coleman, I can run about 35 mph dont want to run all day getting there.

I think it's about 5 miles each way. If the wind gets up and blows the wrong direction it will feel like 20.

You are spot on Feesh. Never fished Bear much, matter fact coming out of Bear one time we came out of the water higher and further than I ever had in a boat, not fun. Fished Yellow Creek a bunch and when staying at JP Coleman we always drove back to Scruggs Bridge on 25, easy in and out and never crowded.
Not sure about crappie but have a caught BUNCH of green carp in the water way around Scruggs Bridge. Just have to watch for the traffic up and down it and get out of the way.

I've seen people limit out fishing for crappie right there at the ramp at Scruggs in the spring. They are literally fishing the dock and ramp there. They had to reel in so we could launch our boat.

That's probably where we'll fish, in that area anyway. I've heard good things about Yellow Creek.

Just don't get too close to the goats on goat island, we watched 1 board a ski boat that got too close while feeding them earlier this year. :Rofl

Just take plenty of snacks - they love granola bars! By the way, they can't swim but they will wade to your boat!
