New Tazewell, Tennessee, offers a great opportunity to target Largemouth Bass in the pristine waters of Cherokee Lake. This TVA reservoir boasts a healthy population of largemouth, with plenty of structure and cover to hold fish. The best time to target largemouth here is during the spring and fall months when the water temperatures are moderate. During the spring, focus on the shallow coves and creek arms as the bass move up to spawn. In the fall, look for them around points and drop-offs as they feed up for the winter.
