Largemouth Bass

For largemouth bass enthusiasts, Weber City, Virginia, provides access to the upper reaches of the Holston River system, offering a unique smallmouth-like feel to largemouth fishing. Expect clear, rocky waters and fast currents in sections of the Holston, which influence the bass's behavior. Spring and fall are typically the most productive seasons. During the spring, bass will be staging and spawning in the shallows. Fall sees bass actively feeding before winter. Focus on areas with current breaks, such as boulders, submerged logs, and the mouths of creeks. Using lures that imitate local forage, like crawfish and small minnows, can be very effective. A good access point is the boat ramp near Weber City Town Park, offering easy access to the river. Be aware of fluctuating water levels, especially after heavy rains, which can impact water clarity and bass activity. The bass here tend to be aggressive and fight hard in the moving water, offering a fun challenge for anglers.
