Spotted Bass
Anglers targeting spotted bass near Abingdon, Virginia, will find that the Holston River system, particularly the South Fork, offers promising opportunities. While largemouth are more common in some areas, the spotted bass population is healthy and provides a unique angling challenge. These fish tend to prefer moving water and rocky structure, so focus your efforts on riffles, runs, and areas with boulders or submerged wood. Spring and fall are generally the most productive times, as the water temperatures are more favorable and the spotted bass are actively feeding. A local tip: try fishing around bridge pilings and other man-made structures, as these often attract spotted bass. Small crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and jigs are all effective lures. Spotted bass in the Holston River system are known for their aggressive strikes and strong fighting ability. Be sure to use appropriate tackle and be prepared for a spirited battle. Remember to check the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources regulations for any specific restrictions or size limits.
