Dennis was a superb guide below Wilson Dam on the Tennessee River. Alex and I would fish with him whenever we were in Sheffield (Shoals Area) visiting Deb’s family. The Tennessee is massive in this area, and Wilson Dam is a massive hydro dam supplying electricity to the Shoals area. The river is rich in Catfish (Channels & Blues) to 100 lbs! Striped Bass, trophy Smallmouth Bass, Largemouth Bass as well as many other warm water species. Dennis was a good ol’ boy – always “up”, always teaching – with a great knowledge of the waters and the fish. I miss his sunny personality and love of the sport – and we miss fishing with him.
