I was going through some old tackle in a shoebox, long forgotten when I came upon a map of Glenn Springs that was printed back when it was first opened.Prolly gonna hit that place tomorrow and see what the crappie look like.

Cool!!!!!!!!
That is neat. Where is the lake?
Here ya go duck:Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency - Glenn Springs Lake
Thanks Sat.
Fished it a few times when it first opened it up. Thing has got some really deep water for such a small lake. Never crappie fished it but sure caught some awesome bream out of there.
310 acres and all the creeks run through dead standing timber over to the levee. Lots of deep water and long points with weed beds!At one time bass almost averaged 3 pounds. It was stocked with Tolapia each year to reduce the bream and they grew huge.Dude at the office said a lady used to catch them on night crawlers.I thinks they killed all the vegetation once and I had not been back since that happened. Used to be a great scum frog lake!I had something come up so I'm gonna try and make it Friday!Limit on crappie- 30 fish 8" long!May be some slabs in there!You can run a outboard but is a no wake lake!
Post some pics, sounds like a pretty neat place to fish!

I'll post some pics Friday night when I get back! I remember once that Bill Dance did a bream fishing show there and he wore them out.At one time there were 5 ponds located on the property before it was impounded. Those ponds were already full of fish. After the lake filled it covered those ponds and they also stocked the lake!The first week it was open there was no limit on anything. Catch all you want!Bream now are 20 fish. Bass have a slot 14-18 with 1 fish larger than that. Total fish 10 on bass. All TWRA yearly permits cover this lake and all other TWRA lakes.
It sounds like a great place, good luck.
I fished it once and did not do any good...haven't been back but it's close and convenient. Hope you do well. An encouraging report would send me back there. It's a beautiful lake!Quote:
