I was going to post when I first saw your post, but, you said the Duck was too far away. I live in Tullahoma and fish the Duck and the Elk. The Duck is not a power generating dam so no worry on generation. It is flowing 68 degree water from the dam and that makes for bad trout fishing, but, the warm water fishing is good. Lots of bluegill, black perch and bass. The Elk River, below Tims Ford Dam, is running 54 degrees and trout fishing is really good right now. Tim's Ford Dam is a power generating dam, so, you must check the generation schedule each morning. Just call: 1-800-238-2264, wait for the computer to answer and then push #4, wait and when it asks for you to put the number in for the dam you are interested in, just push #5 & 0 & the # sign. They will tell you the generation schedule for the Elk. The #5 & 6 & # sign will give you how much water is being released from the Normandy Dam for the Duck. Anything below 200 cubic feet per second is safe wading on the Duck. For the past several weeks they have been releasing around 150CFS on the Duck. If you need more info on these 2 rivers just let me know.

Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.
