I live in Franklin, TN and you mainly have the Harpeth River that you could try. Their is Monsanto Lake near Santa Fe (northwest) of Columbia. I see it on google maps but don't know anything about it. I go to Old Hickory Lake (hermitage, old hickory, hendersonville, gallatin area) is a river that gets water from cordnell lake. Or I will go to Percy Priest Lake (hermitage, smyrna, mt. juliet area) it is a dammed up lake a lot deeper then Old Hickory but both are good for different reason. The dam is right off I-40 eastbound and you can't miss it. You can fish on either side of the Dam by foot, below is best right after they let alot of water out, but the drought has kept below the Dam very low until lately. Old Hickory lake has the world record Smallmouth Bass. Old Hickory Lake is about 1 hour or so from Sring Hill, and the end of Percy Priest is about 45 mintues, 15 minutes past 840 and I-24 in Murfreesboro area. Your best bet is to hop on 840 and drive east and go to Fate Sanders Marina (http://fatesandersmarina.lbu.com/). It is a prime Largemouth Bass area. Or you could go 1-1.5 hrs south to Wheeler Lake in AL. But in Spring Hill or near Spring Hill their isn't any lakes. The only fishing area would have to be a river.
