There’s rivers close by to the Nashville area that you can chase Striper, Smallmouth, and Muskie. There’s a couple local shops that guide, Flysouth and Jones fly company.
As far as live music, there’s many a stones throw away from each other down on lower Broadway. I like Roberts Western World, they have an awesome house band. I enjoy Layla’s as well, but there are plenty to chose from.
For eats I like Jacks BBQ, Broadway brew house, and a nicer joint being the Southern. These are all in walking distance of the music venues. I live about 15 min south of Nashville so don’t hesitate if you have anymore questions about the area.
