White Bass fishing near Morristown, Tennessee, centers around Cherokee Lake and the Holston River. Springtime is prime time, as the Whites migrate upstream to spawn. Focus your efforts on the Holston River above the lake, especially near creek mouths and riffles. Small jigs, spinners, and shad-imitation crankbaits work wonders. Cherokee Lake itself can also hold good numbers of White Bass, especially near the dam and in the main river channel. Look for schooling activity and birds diving to locate the fish. A fish finder can be invaluable for locating schools of White Bass in deeper water. A local tip: be prepared for changing water levels, as the TVA controls the flow of the Holston River. Check the generation schedule before you head out. White Bass in this area are known for their aggressive strikes, making them a fun target for light tackle anglers.
