Largemouth Bass
Cookeville, Tennessee, offers some fantastic largemouth bass fishing, with Dale Hollow Lake and Center Hill Lake being the main attractions. Dale Hollow is renowned for its smallmouth, but the largemouth population is also strong, particularly in the back of creeks and coves. Center Hill, on the other hand, offers a good mix of largemouth and spotted bass. Spring and fall are the peak seasons. In spring, target shallow, weedy areas as the bass move in to spawn. During the fall, focus on points and creek channels as they feed up for winter. A local tip for Center Hill: try fishing around the standing timber with Carolina rigs or Texas-rigged plastics. For Dale Hollow, consider using crankbaits along rocky bluffs. The largemouth in these lakes can reach impressive sizes, so be prepared for some exciting battles.
