Largemouth Bass
Rocky Top, Tennessee, provides a fantastic backdrop for largemouth bass fishing. Norris Lake, with its clear waters and diverse structure, is the main draw. You'll find everything from rocky bluffs and submerged timber to weed beds and boat docks, all holding bass. Spring and fall are prime times, as the fish move shallow to spawn or feed aggressively before winter. During the summer, focus on deeper structure during the day and move shallow at dawn and dusk. Try fishing around the numerous islands and points. Local anglers often have success with crankbaits and Carolina rigs in deeper water, and spinnerbaits or topwater lures in the shallows. Public boat ramps are available around the lake, but be aware that Norris can get busy, especially on weekends. Consider exploring some of the smaller creeks and coves for a more secluded fishing experience.
