Striped Bass
Jacksboro, Tennessee, may not be the first place that comes to mind for striped bass, but nearby Norris Lake offers a surprisingly good striper fishery. This large reservoir, formed by the impoundment of the Clinch River, provides the deep, cool waters that stripers thrive in. Spring and fall are typically the best times to target these fish, as they move shallower to feed. Trolling with large crankbaits or live bait is a popular method, especially around points and submerged humps. Local anglers often have success using downriggers to get their lures down to the thermocline during the warmer months. The Stinking Creek arm of Norris Lake, accessible from several boat ramps near Jacksboro, is a known hotspot. Be sure to check the TWRA website for regulations regarding size and creel limits for striped bass on Norris Lake, as they can change.
