Tennessee BASS Conservation is for anyone who cares about protecting/improving fishing in Tennessee!
We are more than a simple fishing organization! We are Tennessee BASS Nation giving back to our communities and helping others!
Our Adult Clubs and High School/Youth Clubs conduct lake clean ups throughout Tennessee, in 2015-2023 we removed over 180 ton of trash from Tennessee Waterways! Furthermore, we have built and placed over 75,000 Habitat structures under the guidance of the TWRA, TVA and USACE in 17 Tennessee Reservoirs!
For the past 10 years, TBN Members and HS/JR anglers have improved access across the State for boaters and handieCap anglers!
Each winter, TBN HS/JR programs team up with TWRA Lake managers to improve habitat and water quality for generations to come. Over the 2020-2021 Winter we completed the Largest Habitat restoration and Clean Waters project in the History of Tennessee!
We host and conduct food Drives for local food banks and Veterans Organizations.

TWRA REQUESTS PUBLIC INPUT FOR 2025-26 FISHING REGULATIONS
NASHVILLE --- The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) is welcoming comments for its 2025-26 fishing regulations. This is an opportunity for the public to share ideas and concerns about fishing regulations with TWRA staff.
TWRA Fisheries personnel use a variety of techniques to manage fish populations and gather data about fish population size structure, recruitment, growth, density, and mortality. In addition, Fisheries personnel work to improve habitat to benefit fish species along with propagating and stocking numerous species of fish to ensure anglers have the best fishing opportunities possible. TWRA also conducts angler surveys to gain a better understanding of fisheries including, effort, catch, preferences, demographics, and economics. All this information is taken into consideration during the regulation process.
The public comment period is another opportunity for anglers to provide feedback on TWRA’s Fisheries management. Public comments will be considered with fishery independent assessments to select the best strategies and regulations to manage Tennessee’s resources while accommodating the widest variety of anglers.
The comment period concerning fishing regulations is open from Friday, Aug 16 through Monday, Sept. 16, 2024. Any proposed fishing regulation changes will be previewed at a meeting of the Tennessee Fish and Wildlife Commission in early 2025.
There will be a public comment period on the proposed regulations after the TWRA presentation to the commission. Any approved regulations will go into effect Aug. 1, 2025. Please click the button below to submit your comments.
