Seasonal Activity Chart
Spotted Bass
Western North Carolina, particularly around Canton, offers some surprisingly good spotted bass fishing in its rivers and reservoirs. The Pigeon River, flowing right through Canton, is a prime spot to target these aggressive fighters. Look for them around rocky structures, current breaks, and submerged wood. Fall and spring are generally the most productive seasons, as the water temperatures are ideal and the bass are actively feeding before and after the spawn. A key to success on the Pigeon is adapting to the water clarity. After rainfall, the river can get muddy quickly, so switch to darker colored lures or those with a lot of vibration. Soco Gap Road provides decent access to the Pigeon River for wading and bank fishing. Remember that the spotted bass in this area are generally smaller than largemouth, but they make up for it with their eagerness to strike.
