Striped Bass
If you're looking to tangle with striped bass in East Tennessee, Morristown offers some excellent opportunities, particularly in Cherokee Lake. This TVA reservoir is known for its healthy striper population, supported by alewife forage. Spring and fall are prime times; stripers move shallower to feed as water temperatures moderate. During the spring spawning run, focus on the Holston River arm of the lake. Look for points and humps near the river channel. In the fall, target areas near creek mouths and main lake points as stripers gorge themselves before winter. A local tip: keep an eye on TVA lake levels, as fluctuating water can concentrate fish. Boat access is available at several public ramps around the lake. Also, consider trolling large crankbaits or live bait for best results.
