Germantown, Tennessee, offers some surprisingly good largemouth bass fishing despite its urban setting. Local ponds and smaller lakes, often overlooked, can hold some quality fish. The Wolf River, while challenging in some areas, also provides opportunities. Spring and fall are the most productive times. During the spring prespawn, focus on shallow, weedy areas with spinnerbaits and crankbaits. In the fall, bass will often school up and chase baitfish, making topwater lures and jerkbaits effective. A practical tip: many of the smaller ponds are accessible via walking trails; be respectful of private property and other park users. The bass population in these smaller waters tends to be relatively unpressured, so even smaller lures and lighter line can produce good results. Also, pay attention to water clarity – these waters can get murky quickly after rain.
