Fishing questions
Is there any Musky fishing in Tennessee? Or Northern Pike?

I know there's Musky. I'm not sure about Northern Pike. Bass, of course, is the big game fish here.

I thought the water here in Tennessee was a little too warm to support a healthy Musky population.???????

I think what you call Northern pike they call something else here. There is definitely musky fishing because I have seen TWRA signs near water addressing what you can and can't take.
You might want to look at this page:
Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency - Region 4 Fishing Report
If you notice the current Region 4 report addresses current musky fishing conditions (all the way at the bottom of the page) at Melton Hill Reservoir. Even tells you what they're hitting on right now.
I'm sorry, I just gave the link to Region 4, I should have included this one:

Thanks everybody. Tennesse is one state we're thinking of retiring to in the future, and I love fishing musky, bass and northern pike.
