Striped Bass
If you're chasing striped bass near Nolensville, Tennessee, your focus should be on the Cumberland River and its impoundments, particularly Old Hickory Lake and Cordell Hull Lake. These reservoirs, a short drive from Nolensville, offer the best opportunities for landlocked stripers. Spring and fall are prime times, as the stripers move shallow to feed and spawn (or stage for the spawn). Look for them near creek mouths and points early in the year as the water warms. In the fall, focus on areas with shad activity. A local tip: trolling live shad or large crankbaits along the main river channel near the dam at Old Hickory can be highly effective. Be aware of the generation schedules at the dam, as the increased current can concentrate fish but also make boat control challenging. The striper fishery here is sustained through stocking programs, so practice catch and release to help maintain the population.
