Spotted Bass
If you're after some hard-fighting Spotted Bass, Bakersville, NC, may surprise you. While not as well-known as some other bass fisheries in the state, the reservoirs and upper reaches of the Toe River system hold a healthy population. These fish tend to congregate around rocky points, submerged timber, and any kind of structure that provides cover. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target them, as they're more active during these periods. Small crankbaits, jigs, and Carolina-rigged plastics are all effective. A local tip: focus your efforts near the dam at Roan Mountain State Park; the tailwaters can be productive, especially after a period of rain. The Spotted Bass here aren't huge, averaging 1-3 pounds, but they are aggressive and fun to catch on light tackle. Be aware that the water levels can fluctuate, so check conditions before you head out.
