Largemouth Bass
If you're chasing largemouth in southern Tennessee, Ethridge offers some quiet, productive waters. Unlike the larger reservoirs of the state, Ethridge is surrounded by smaller lakes and ponds, as well as the slower-moving sections of the Buffalo River. These waters offer a more intimate fishing experience, and the bass can be quite aggressive. Spring and fall are prime times, as the bass move shallow to spawn or fatten up for winter. Focus on areas with submerged timber, weed beds, and rocky outcroppings. A local tip: many of the smaller ponds are on private land, so always seek permission before fishing. The Buffalo River Public Use Areas provide good access to the river. The largemouth in this area tend to be healthy, with a good average size, thanks to the relatively light fishing pressure.
