Which fish are best to catch when it gets cold in Tennessee?

As fall commences, the temperatures drop and crowds of recreational anglers pack up their tackleboxes.

However, fishery biologists with the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency say fall and winter are some of the best times to catch certain species of fish.

TWRA biologists John Hammonds, Shaun Ramsey and Alan Beach told News Channel 11 that Northeast Tennessee’s lakes, reservoirs and rivers offer a variety of fish that are best caught in cool weather.
 

Bass

“Basically all your reservoirs, and smallmouth and largemouth fishing gets better after the summer months into the fall and winter,” Beach said. “It can be feast or famine, you follow the shad back into the creek starting now. They’re starting to gradually move back into the creeks. The colder the water gets, the more the shad will push into the creeks and the bass will follow that.”

Beach said as long as an angler can find those schools of shad, there is a great opportunity to catch bass, who become more active in the creeks during cold weather.

Striped bass are another good target for the winter, according to Hammonds. Like the largemouth and smallmouth, anglers need only follow the shad to have luck catching them.

“You’re either gonna catch several or none, it can be frustrating,” Hammonds said.
