We didn't even get to Kentucky Lake that trip, so someone could have easily said "You ain't seen nothin' yet" to us. I'm still excited by the monstrous and beautiful and so relatively underdeveloped Kentucky Lake and then it having a nice opening into a whole other river. It's like Pickwick opening to the TN Tom and then the Gulf of Mexico. Omg, I'm getting excited just typing and in the office where getting too excited isn't a good idea.
We live on Lake Chickamauga, and your description of the trip up or down Nickajack is right on point. If you get that far, head north through Watts Barr, on to Ft Loudon, and head down to the foot of the Smokies on the Tellico. You will really enjoy it. Feel free to PM when you get close.
