Striped Bass
If you're heading to Lenoir City, Tennessee, with striped bass on your mind, you're likely targeting Watts Bar Lake or Fort Loudoun Lake, both part of the Tennessee River system. These lakes offer a dynamic striper fishery influenced by seasonal changes and TVA water releases. Spring is a fantastic time to fish the tailwaters below the dams as stripers move upstream to spawn. Trolling with large crankbaits or casting swimbaits can be highly effective. In the warmer months, focus on deeper water and use your electronics to locate schools of baitfish. Stripers will often be suspended near these bait balls. A crucial local tip: Pay attention to the generation schedules at the dams, as the current can significantly impact striper activity and location. Be prepared for some sizable fish, as these lakes are known to produce trophy stripers.
