Largemouth Bass
If you're heading to Rutledge, Tennessee, in pursuit of largemouth bass, you're likely setting your sights on Cherokee Lake. This reservoir is known for its healthy bass population and diverse structure, offering anglers a variety of fishing opportunities. Spring and fall are prime times, as the bass move shallow to spawn or feed aggressively before winter. Focus on points, coves, and submerged timber. Local tip: The upper end of the lake, fed by the Holston River, often holds stained water, which can be productive when other areas are clear. Launching at Cherokee Park provides good access to this area. Remember that Cherokee Lake can fluctuate, so check water levels before you go to adjust your approach accordingly. Largemouth in Cherokee Lake tend to be chunky, football-shaped fish, so be prepared for a good fight!
