Wading Duck Spots - Central TN

Hey guys, following along on this thread. My wife's family is from the Brentwood area and we will be in the area Tuesday 12/19 through Christmas. I'd love to find a good spot or 2 in the area to do some duck hunting while in town for the week. Any advice is appreciated or if anyone wants to link up and go together. I do have a trained duck dog that'll be with me.

First hunting season in TN, and I'd really like to get a duck hunt or two in now that deer season is coming to an end. I have 3 main problems:

1. I don't know hardly anyone in TN
2. I don't have a boat
3. I don't have a duck dog

So, I'm looking for areas I can wade to retrieve or set up. The two places I've online scouted are cheatham lake and duck River around yanahli. Are either of those areas wade-able? Does it depend on the specific spot you're going to? I'm assuming Percy priest and old hickory are too deep to wade.

Not looking for anyone to drop me a pin, but if someone can help we with a body of water that's wade-able, I'd greatly appreciate it. I work before sun up and past sundown during the week so I'm limited to weekends for scouting and/or hunting and those are running out quick.

Thanks!

I know it has been a few years but I just moved to Nashville and have the same questions as you. I would appreciate any advice. I also don't know many hunters around TN yet so would be up for a group hunt sometime.

Thanks!

Cheatham has a wade in area by Dysons Ditch. Some days it is terrible, some days you can shoot a couple (but then again you can say the same for the blinds).
It's worth looking in to.

The TWRA does a good job of defining Tiered locations but there is a lot of work they need to do on the online mapping. It is not user friendly and doesn't clearly show the areas on a map. Unless I am missing a mapping tool that's not shown. I wish they would do a better job of directing hunters to the proper locations on these WMAs.

is that wading into blind hop one of the marked blinds or is there an area that doesn't require drawings.

Looks like there only a handful of Tier 4 locations available on any given body of water and they're first come first serve. So you'd better be there early if you want to snag it. If someone's there before you, depends on what kind of person is there, they just may invite you to jump in.

yes it would help if they'd add a color legend for the blinds. Right now all they show is a circle and you have to click on it to see what tier level the blinds are.
