Rock Bass
Chattanooga, Tennessee, offers diverse fishing opportunities, and rock bass are a hidden gem among them. The Tennessee River and its tributaries, particularly the Hiwassee and Ocoee Rivers, hold healthy populations. These fish thrive in the rocky, clear waters of these rivers. Spring and early summer are particularly productive, as the rock bass move into shallower areas to spawn. Focus your efforts near rocky banks, submerged timber, and bridge pilings. Small jigs, spinners, and live worms are all effective baits. A light to medium action spinning rod with 6-8 lb test line is ideal. Remember to obtain a valid Tennessee fishing license. The Hiwassee River offers excellent wade-fishing opportunities, while the Tennessee River is best fished from a boat. Be mindful of strong currents in these rivers, especially after heavy rains.
