Largemouth Bass
Lenoir City, Tennessee, is a prime location for pursuing largemouth bass, with Fort Loudoun Lake being a central fishery. This TVA reservoir offers a diverse habitat that supports a healthy bass population. Spring and fall are traditionally the best times, as bass move shallow to spawn or feed heavily before winter. During these periods, target shallow water structures like docks, laydowns, and weed beds. During the summer months, look for bass in deeper water around ledges and humps. A practical tip: the Fort Loudoun Dam tailwaters can be productive, but exercise caution due to strong currents. Local anglers often use crankbaits and Carolina rigs to target largemouth in the deeper sections of the lake. The largemouth in Fort Loudoun are known for their aggressive strikes and strong fight, making for an exciting angling experience.
