VolFan Posted August 7, 2022 Posted August 7, 2022 Gar are definitely not protected. They are garbage disposals with sharp scales. The upper end is way up the Little Tennessee River, to the headwaters below Chilhowee Lake, some of my favorite places in the country and great fishing. Quote

Top end? where is that in relation to the canal leading to Fort Loudon Lake? Gar aren’t protected, people shoot them with arrows for fun. Complete opposite end from the canal, up toward chilhowee dam is the cold water Quote
