Largemouth Bass
Head to Maynardville, Tennessee, and you'll find yourself in the heart of Norris Lake country, a fantastic destination for largemouth bass fishing. Norris Lake, a sprawling reservoir on the Clinch River, offers a diverse range of habitat, from rocky bluffs to submerged timber and grass beds. Spring and fall are generally considered the best times, with spawning activity in the spring and aggressive feeding in the fall. Focus on the upper ends of the lake and tributary arms in the spring. During the summer, target deeper structure with Carolina rigs or deep-diving crankbaits. A key local tip is to pay attention to the water level. Norris is a TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) reservoir, and water levels can fluctuate, impacting where the bass are holding. Check the TVA website for current lake levels before you go. The largemouth in Norris Lake are known for being relatively healthy, and while trophy-sized fish are present, numbers of 2-5 pound fish are more common. Good boat ramps are available around the lake.
