Largemouth Bass
If you're looking to hook into some largemouth bass in Northeast Tennessee, the Mount Carmel area presents some solid opportunities. While the Holston River flows nearby, many anglers focus on Cherokee Lake. This large reservoir offers a diverse habitat, including submerged timber, rocky points, and expansive weed beds – all prime locations for largemouth. Spring and fall are the most productive times to fish, as the bass are actively feeding and staging near spawning areas or preparing for winter. Consider launching from one of the public boat ramps around the lake. A local tip: Pay attention to the thermocline during the summer months. Bass will often congregate near this temperature break, so adjusting your fishing depth accordingly can significantly increase your chances of success. The largemouth in Cherokee Lake can range in size, with the potential for catching some quality fish. Experiment with different lure types and presentations to find what the bass are keying on.
