Kingston Steam Plant is located just outside of Knoxville within the scenic valley of Kingston, Tennessee. The plant resides on the Clinch River arm of Watts Bar lake and can be an abundant place to catch fish of all species during the frigid winter months. Steam Plants pump hot water into cool lakes during the winter periods, which then draws in a myriad of different fish. These type of plants can be found all across the country and are excellent places to fish when they're rolling that hot water out. In this video, I walk you through the basics of catching fish at a hot water discharge with cut bait. Get out there, brave the elements, adventure a little, and catch some big ol' fish!

Kingston steam plant dang I have made a lot of money at that plant but the fish I have caught from that same spillway that he is fishing from has a place in my memories that I am pretty proud to have, the best fish I have caught from there is a 48lb rockfish and the bait was a 3lb Skip jack and the fight from hell was on, I will never forget the time's I have had at this place but I am also dying because of this plant due to the ash spill and faulty PPE that TVA put us in. Good fishing take care

Great video! I used to be able to fish in the Nimbus basin on the American river in Sacramento, Ca! We no longer can fish their unfortunately, but we would only be able to fish on both sides of the banks just below the Nimbus dam. We would fish for Salmon, Stripers Steel Head and Shad. One side of the bank was considered the low wall and the other side the high wall. On the high wall we would use a crab net to raise up are catch, it worked very well!

Have you ever heard of the Rockfish capatol of the world 🌎 ? I live in Halifax county North Carolina ,we call striped bass rock fish because they spawn in the Roanoke River amongst the gigantic rocks before going back home too the Atlantic ocean we too had trouble with the way things worked out for the fish but after years of restrictions THAY came back by the millions we can only keep 2 a day with a slot limit , only one hook with the Barb REMOVED but they can get over 40 lbs. You can land over 40 to 50 of them in just a few hours 👍

I lived in Hendersonville TN and fished the Kingston steam plant like a day b4 that huge ash spill in Dec 2008. We caught big stripers those few days me and a few friends fished there. I moved to florida a few days later, but just moved back to E TN in 2022. I hear it was a disaster that lasted for years and ruined the river and fishing. I remember the huge piles of coal and the freight trains all loaded up next to the conveyors and smoke stacks. Time usually heals most wounds. Glad to see the fishing recovered. Caught a couple of stripers in the 40 lb class over the years there. Will have to fish there again soon

@gigisead1621 3 месяца назад

yeah. My mom was driving through to pick up my mamaw and papaw that day because I had broken my arm and had to get carried out of a hospital on a helicopter because of the blood loss. She barely made it through because she passed through the road on her way to there house and went back only to find the road gone... She was probably one of the first people to call it in that night. Now that it's been cleaned up they have small lakes in the area that you can fish, but never eat. Just like those men and women who cleaned up the spill you'll get plenty of cancer.

When I got to walk get one of those metal wagons from Rural king to put your gear in holds lots of stuff ! Even mount rod holders to pvc type and add a cushion for a seat .this is if you have good grass or sidewalk to pull it but it will go over some rough stuff ! Try it well worth the investment !

Been in Knoxville for 15 years. I’m from New Orleans all my life until here. Never fished here but I’m ready. I loved surf fishing Grand Isle but know nothing about fresh water fishing till watching this. I can’t wait. Can I use shrimp for bait. Anyplace to throw a cast net there ?

@PickledParrotfish 2 года назад

The plant is running fewer units. That is why the discharge water is cooler. That water is only used for condensing the steam in the boiler back to water for recirculation thru the system. It is not contaminated at any point. Don't worry.

@insearchofthebest9070 2 года назад

Hey brother I will tell you 2 helpful tips that will help you after watching you fish man Im a old veteran fisherman brother .if you're worried about losing your rod due to short holders take a piece of rope about 5 ft tie it to you rod handle & to the railing .also make you a fish basket out of bent rebar sheet it with a chicken wire or square hole wire & tie a rope from a four tie sling tied to each corner & meeting with a rope tied to it . let it down just under the water & when you catch a fish just pull him into basket that's under the water not far then pull up basket . you have your fish no help needed plus no getting over the rail .it will help you a great deal .POWER ON & GOOD FISHING ALWAYS ..

@connorroberts1884 2 года назад

while the fishing doesn't actually start until almost 13 minutes into the video, it was still a cool, entertaining video. and it's cool to learn about the things that happen in other areas, like yours with the coal spill, and how it changes the whole ecosystem, not just fishing in that area for a long time

@TopKnoxFishing 2 года назад

It was a huge disaster. I thought about including some news clips from it, but I didn't know what the copyright laws were on it. Try googling it. The aerial videos and photos are wild.

The fish doesn't bite until 16 minutes in for those of you that don't need the rigging and bait lessons. I like the video though. Wholesome. No cussing or trashy talk.
