Where to Fish:

Marrowbone Lake

Marrowbone is one of TWRA’s Family Fishing Lakes. It’s located in Davidson County near Joelton. You’ll need to get a special permit for this lake—which you can buy on site. They sell bait and other fishing accessories there, too. The lake has largemouth bass, crappie, catfish, and bluegill. There’s a fishing pier and picnic area, and unlike many fishing holes, it’s got restrooms nearby.

Metro Parks

There are several parks in Nashville where you can fish on the bank—as long as you have a state fishing license (more info on that below). There’s Lake Watauga in Centennial Park, Willow Pond in Percy Warner Park, Two Rivers Park Pond, Cedar Hill Park Pond in Madison, and the lake in Shelby Park. There are also several spots along the Little Harpeth River in Edwin Warner Park.
