Spotted Bass
While largemouth get most of the attention, spotted bass inhabit several waterways near Marion, Virginia, offering a fun alternative for bass anglers. These fish thrive in the cooler, clearer waters of the Holston River and its tributaries. They tend to congregate around rocky structures, ledges, and deeper pools. Spring and fall are prime times to target spotted bass, as they become more active during these periods. Small crankbaits, jigs, and finesse soft plastics are effective lures. Focus your efforts on areas with current breaks and submerged timber. A local tip: Pay attention to water clarity; spotted bass often prefer clearer water than largemouth. Check local regulations regarding size and creel limits, as these can vary. Public access to the Holston River is available at multiple points, providing ample opportunities to explore and locate productive spotted bass habitat. Don't be afraid to downsize your line and lure presentation, as spotted bass can be line-shy in clear water.
