Largemouth Bass

Largemouth Bass fishing near Glade Spring, Virginia, revolves around local impoundments like South Holston Lake and smaller community ponds. South Holston, though primarily known for trout, also holds a decent population of largemouth, particularly in the coves and creek arms. Spring and fall are the most productive times. During the spring spawn, target shallow, weedy areas with soft plastics or spinnerbaits. In the fall, focus on points and drop-offs with crankbaits or Carolina rigs. Smaller ponds around Glade Spring can also provide good action, especially during the warmer months. A local tip: South Holston can fluctuate in water level, so check lake conditions before you go. Also, be aware that some community ponds may have specific regulations or require permission to fish.
