Just below the Shelbyville Tennessee Couthouse Square is the Old City Dam aka Fisherman's Park Dam on the Duck River. On this day it's flooded which does happen often. Fisherman's Park Dam is one of only three small dams that remain between Shelbyville TN and Columbia TN.
Approximately 1915 Shelbyville Dam on the Duck River in Shelbyville, Bedford County, TN was an early power producing plant. In 1939 TVA acquired the plant and operated it until 1948, since that time it has been abandoned.
Old City Dam in Shelbyville, TN
The Old City Dam in Shelbyville, TN along the Duck River has seen its share of floods over the years. The question now is, will the old power house remain or will it be torn down? The building on the dam was constructed in 1915 to generate electricity for the community of about 2,800 residents. Today, closer to 21,000 residents from a variety of backgrounds call Shelbyville home. The power generating facility was sold to the Tennessee Electric Power Company in 1929 and later to the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) in 1939. The TVA stopped using the site in 1948 and sold it to the City of Shelbyville in 1950. It has now been unused for 68 years. As for the Duck River, it is the longest river in Tennessee. The 284 mile stretch of water is also home to more than 50 freshwater mussels and 151 different species of fish. While it may be hard to believe, the Duck River is the most biologically diverse river in all of North America.

Fish attractors placed in Lake Shelbyville
IDNR and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers teamed up with 180 volunteers to place around 500 fish attractors in Lake Shelbyville. These structures will not only provide habitat for fish but will attract and concentrate them for fisherman. We hope to see crappie along with bass, walleye and possibly catfish use them.

Michael M.'s Review on The Dyrt:
▶︎ Great place for outdoors activities
The Lithia Springs recreation area near Shelbyville, IL. On Lake Shelbyville has so many things to offer. This is one of my favorite places on the lake for boating, swimming and group camping. There are 105 campsites and they fill up with reservations in the spring and summer months, I would recommend reserving a site on line at: ( .
The campground is run by the Corps of engineers, it is well cared for with clean shower houses and restrooms. There is a boat ramp, picnic areas, a small swimming beach and very nice lakeside campsites. Half the campsites have electric hookups and water near the sites, the other half now have full hookups and 50 amp service. It is recommended to fill your tanks as you enter so you won’t need to get water during your stay for the sites on the point, those do not have full hookups. I tent camp when I stay here now, but have camped here with a motorhome and filled up when I entered and dumped when I left for a long weekend.
All sites have picnic tables, fire rings with grates and most also have a lantern stand. Most sites have a decent amount of room between them and there are some buddy sites where you share a large table cooking area and park facing each other. There are flat areas for tents and you can have two tents as well as an RV on each site.
The marina here is great with boat gas, fishing equipment, bait, snacks and other items you might need in a pinch. They also rent fishing boats and pontoon boats so you can go on a boating excursion while camping here for a price.
There are also cabins and motel rooms with a kitchen near the park entrance if you have a desire for that kind of lodging. See the links below for that.

Installing Fish Attractors in Tim's Ford
A Special Report by Buzz Ansley and the County Buzz Team
Most recreational boaters and fishermen are accustomed to seeing small cedar trees staked to the lake bottom in shallow areas that provide cover and concealment for small bait fish, which in turn attract larger fish. This past week saw two local men take a new and improved attractor to the lake bottom as a means to improve the lake’s fishery.
Working largely on their own, with some help from members of the Tims Ford Bass Club and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA), Lahr and Davis designed and constructed a series of state-of-the-art attractor devices that will be put through the final test - anchored in spaces around Tims Ford Lake.
Lahr and Davis have drawn upon their knowledge of fish feeding and spawn habits, to design several types of man-made structures that are being submerged deeply enough in the reservoir that most boaters will never be aware of their presence.
The fish, however, get it! With names like: armadillos, citrus trees, faux stumps and more, these attractors are intended to provide safe havens for numerous types of small baitfish seeking to evade the larger predatory fish. At the same time, the larger fish get the benefit of a feeding pool they can sneak up on.
But, while most freshwater fish attractor efforts traditionally utilize a hodge-podge of assorted types of shrubbery anchored to the bottom, Lahr and Davis have employed heavy-grade construction materials carefully designed and constructed to last below the lake’s surface for many years to come.
Utilizing the TWRA floating work station, with the assistance of area TWRDA officers, the hundreds of pounds of concrete, PVC tubing, drainage pipes, shaped 2x4s along with anchored evergreen trees are being strategically placed on the lake bottom under the careful supervision of area fishing guide, Jake Davis, who is well known for his successful fishing and guide services on this and other local waterways.
According to Davis and Lahr, providing substantial areas of the lake bottom with these long-lasting attractor devices, does more than just give fishermen a good place to present their lures. The structures allow large numbers of vulnerable ‘baby’ fish to survive their first weeks of life and thereby increase the overall bait population in the reservoir that eventually leads to the growth of larger fish in in the food chain. So yes, the goal is to produce larger, and more, trophy fish in Tims Ford Reservoir, which is known in fishing circles as an average fishery for most popular sport fishing species including: largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, crappie, walleye, catfish and others.
Both Lahr and Davis reside on, and fish regularly on Tims Ford Reservoir and hope that their concerted efforts will help increase the lake’s national standing as a big fish producer, which will in turn result in increased economic impact for the local business community as more sportsmen being attracted to this lake does far more than just sell boat gas locally.
Motels, restaurants and many retail businesses benefit significantly from the numbers of avid boaters and sportsmen who are attracted to this beautiful lake and it’s dynamic fishery. Sure, we like to catch big fish, but its bigger than that for this community.”
According to Lahr, “TWRA’s generous contribution to this effort is much appreciated by Jake and I and hopefully they may be influenced by our efforts to consider stocking a few million ‘Florida bass’ seedlings into Tims Ford Reservoir as they have done so successfully in Chickamauga Lake near Chattanooga, which has transformed that reservoir into a top notch big bass fishery in the national listings.”
While today's effort was limited to the areas of the lake in and around the city limits of Winchester, Lahr and Davis hope that their efforts might also attract enough attention to spur additional area efforts of this nature in other reaches of the reservoir to improve the lake’s fishery overall.
