Chickamauga Lake – Tennessee

Images of Chickamauga Lake – South-central Tennessee, taken in September 2022.

After spending most of the summer on the road exploring national parks and monuments, I’ve spent the last month or so visiting friends on Hilton Head Island and in Atlanta. On this stop I met up with David, a friend that I grew up with in Dolton Illinois over 55 years ago. I met he and his wife Deb and their dog Stormy in Chester Frost Park on the Banks of Chickamauga Lake North of Chattanooga in Tennessee. This is one of their favorite getaway parks and being that David used to tour as a fishing pro it was expected that we would spend a day on the water. He and his friend Chris had the tools of their trade; rods, reels and lures, and I had mine. The following is what I “caught” on Chickamauga Lake.
