Journey across Tennessee’s wild landscapes in this powerful new episode of Tennessee WildCast. This week, we take an inspiring look at four of TWRA’s dedicated land managers as they steward places like Bogota, Laurel Hill, North Cumberland, and the Bridgestone Firestone Centennial Wilderness—some of the most ecologically rich and recreationally diverse properties in the state.From wetlands full of wintering waterfowl to upland forests, oak savannas, and early‑successional fields, this episode digs into the science and passion behind modern habitat management. You’ll hear how prescribed fire, timber harvests, moist‑soil production, and long‑term forest planning all work together to benefit wildlife—from deer and turkey to small mammals, songbirds, elk, and threatened species. And on properties where rugged terrain and broad public access collide, you’ll learn how managers balance habitat needs with hunters, hikers, OHV riders, bird‑watchers, anglers, and thousands more outdoor enthusiasts.Whether you’re chasing ducks, running a bird dog, glassing for elk, or simply exploring public land, this episode reminds us that great habitat takes intention, patience, and a whole lot of passion.

We couldn't leave you hanging after last week—so we're back with even more walleye wisdom from Mike Jolly, TWRA's veteran Region 3 Reservoir Fisheries Manager with over 30 years on the water. Tennessee's walleye story is one of science, dedication, and incredible success.This year alone, TWRA hatcheries produced 2.9 million walleye fingerlings (up from 2.2 million last year), making walleye the #1 species raised statewide. Why? Explosive demand and booming opportunity. These fish grow fast—reaching the 16-inch keeper size (and sexual maturity) in just 2–3 years in many reservoirs. That's lightning speed for a premium game fish!We dive into the hatchery magic: collecting March–April broodstock, hand-stripping eggs and milt, incubating in tumbling jars, then raising ravenous fry in ponds (watch out—they turn piscivorous quick, aka the polite term for "cannibalistic"). The result? Thriving populations that fill their own niche without displacing other species.Anglers are loving it. Over 16,000 targeted walleye trips recorded in recent creel surveys (a conservative estimate), plus thousands of hours on waters like Watts Bar. The excitement is real—big fights, predictable patterns, excellent table fare, and year-round tactics from spring spawning runs to summer trolling with shad-imitating crankbaits, downriggers, jig-and-minnow drifts, and even night fishing under lights.A major telemetry study on Watts Bar (nearly 40,000 acres) is already revealing habitat preferences, spawning fidelity, and movement patterns—data that will sharpen future stocking for maximum success. Tagged fish (bright orange dorsal loop tags) are out there—catch one, call the number, and help build a better fishery.From tailwater cool zones to rocky points, walleye deliver the full package: patternable like a deer hunt, delicious on the plate, and backed by science-based management. Check regulations and stocking reports at TNWildlife.org.Ready to chase the next bite? Grab your gear—Tennessee's walleye boom is calling. Tight lines, and thanks for tuning into WildCast!

Learn how walleye are thriving in places like Watts Bar, Chickamauga, and Nickajack, reaching keepable size in just 2-3 years, boosting angler trips statewide, and drawing out-of-state visitors eager for trophy fights.Whether you're a seasoned angler or just love Tennessee's outdoors, this episode is packed with insights on why walleye fishing shines even in winter.
