Striped Bass
While Orlinda isn't directly on a major striped bass fishery, nearby access to the Cumberland River and its impoundments like Old Hickory Lake presents opportunities for targeting these hard-fighting fish. Spring and fall are your best bets, as the stripers migrate upriver to spawn or follow baitfish schools. Trolling with large crankbaits or casting swimbaits near current breaks and points can be highly effective. A local tip is to monitor the river levels, as changes in flow can significantly impact striper activity. Check local fishing reports for the most up-to-date information. Additionally, consider hiring a local guide who knows the river well; they can put you on the fish quickly. Cumberland River stripers are known for their size and strength, so be sure to use heavy tackle and be prepared for a battle.
