Striped Bass
For striped bass near Madisonville, Tennessee, your primary focus should be Tellico Lake. Tellico is known for its healthy population of stripers, supported by regular stocking efforts. These fish offer a thrilling challenge for anglers. Spring and fall are peak seasons, as the stripers follow shad schools. Trolling live shad or large crankbaits is a popular and effective technique. Look for them near the dam, in the main lake channel, and around points. A local tip: invest in a good fish finder to locate schools of baitfish; the stripers won't be far behind. Also, be prepared for long runs and use heavy tackle; these fish can reach impressive sizes. Keep an eye on the TWRA stocking reports for Tellico Lake. Knowing when and where stripers were recently stocked can significantly improve your chances of success. Remember that strict regulations may apply to striper fishing, including size and creel limits, so be sure to check the current regulations before heading out.
