Guadalupe Bass
Guadalupe Bass in the Chattanooga area? Absolutely! While not as widely known as the largemouth or smallmouth, these feisty fish have found a niche in some of the cooler, clearer streams and rivers feeding into the Tennessee River. Look for them in the Hiwassee River and its tributaries, as well as some of the smaller creeks flowing off the Cumberland Plateau. Spring and fall are prime times, as the fish are actively feeding before and after the summer heat. Focus on rocky runs, riffles, and pools. Light tackle is key; use small crankbaits, spinners, or fly fishing gear. A local tip: wading these streams can provide excellent access to prime Guadalupe Bass habitat. Be mindful of water levels and slippery rocks. Also, check Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) regulations for specific size and creel limits. These Guadalupe Bass may be smaller than their Texas cousins, but they pack a punch and offer a unique fishing experience in the Chattanooga region.
