White Bass
Looking for some fast-paced white bass action? Greeneville, Tennessee, offers access to several smaller lakes and rivers that can provide just that. While not a trophy fishery, the Nolichucky River and nearby Davy Crockett Lake are worth exploring. Spring is undoubtedly the best time, as the white bass migrate upstream to spawn. Focus your efforts around creek mouths and rocky shoals. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are all effective. Bank access is available along certain stretches of the Nolichucky, but a small boat or kayak will significantly increase your range. Keep an eye on water clarity; after heavy rains, the river can become muddy, impacting the fishing. Local anglers often use tandem rigs with two small jigs to increase their chances. The white bass in this region are typically smaller, but their willingness to strike makes for an exciting day on the water.
