Northeast Tennessee’s waterways are brimming with fish, and its lakes are home to some of the best bass fishing spots in the state.

The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) divides the state into four regions, with most of East Tennessee and all of Northeast Tennessee falling into Region 4. The TWRA provides online data for 11 lakes and reservoirs in the region, including which gamefish can be found, fishing hot spots in the lakes and the common length of those fish by age.

Bass fishing is a beloved activity and sport in Tennessee, as the different species and subspecies are all known for their fighting spirit and energy once hooked by an angler. Both largemouth and smallmouth Black Bass can be found throughout Northeast Tennessee’s lakes, along with Striped and Cherokee bass.
