Reelfoot Lake is open to public fishing, boating and paddling across the great reservoirs and rivers of Tennessee. Anglers here target largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass, crappie, bluegill, catfish and striped bass.

Tailwaters below the big dams hold stocked and wild trout.

On a lake like this, weed edges, drop-offs, points and structure hold fish through the open-water season.

Sunset Court is a public access point to Reelfoot Lake for trailered boats, kayaks and canoes.

This launch sits on Reelfoot Lake; look for other public access points, marinas and shoreline fishing spots along the same water, and check the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency for the full list of access sites nearby.

Conditions are usually milder than big water, but wind can still build a chop on open stretches. Watch for shallow bars, stumps and swimmers near shore, and check the forecast before a long run.

Carry U.S. Coast Guard–required safety gear, wear your life jacket, file a float plan for longer trips, and watch the afternoon heat and storms in summer.

A Tennessee fishing license is required for anglers 13 and older. Follow the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency's seasons, size and creel limits, which vary by water and species.

Clean, Drain and Dry: remove all aquatic plants and animals, drain every compartment, and never move live fish or bait between waters — this is how invasive species like zebra mussels and invasive carp spread.

Observe posted launch rules, no-wake and idle zones near the ramp, and any local watercraft controls.

Stage your gear before backing down to keep the lanes moving, especially on busy mornings. Check the ramp depth for your boat's draft, and rig the trailer lights to handle a dunk.

Arrive early on summer weekends for parking, and have a plan for wind direction before you launch on open water.
