I don't know about fishing there, but I know the locals are extremely territorial during waterfowl season. had a shotgun put in my face for being in a public blind that apparently wasn't as public as we thought.

I have been there many times. Part of it is in KY and the other is in TN. I usually stay at Cypress Point and we love it. It is good for crappie but the best time to go is Mid to late May to catch the Red Ears. Been many times when we would catch 100+ in one day.

Here is a link that might be helpful. I live in Tennessee but have never been there.

Interesting tidbit, Reelfoot Lake was formed or enlarged by earthquakes from 1811-1812.
