has anyone fished from the bank Chickamauga side of the dam on the rocky shore line now through about may? any crappie? white bass? how deep is it? and what kinda of bottom have you found there? ALSO, are you aloud to park in the lot on top of the dam under hwy 153?? thanks in advance!
Tight lines to all!!
 
Basically riprap or rock bottom. Depth varies... relatively shallow as you go toward the beach, gets very deep as you round the corner toward the turbine intakes.

Yes, you are allowed to park in that lot.

You can catch virtually any fish in the river there... it simply varies based upon season, water flow conditions, bait/lure selection, your technique and skill level.
 
I launched my kayak there last year and caught several solid fish up around the marina docks and in the blow downs across the little cove from the ramp. Not sure you can fish those areas from the bank though.
