Details: Smallmouth Bass
Smallies have been really aggressive on the river.Tried out tubes and grubs but the fluke in white or smokin shad colors was the only thing that they would bite.Pitching ...more the fluke into shade tight to the bank or erratic twitches above small pools were the main tickets today.

Much of the reservoir is in Tennessee so be mindful that you must stay on the Virginia side if you only have a Virginia fishing license and the opposite goes for Tennessee fishermen.
Catfish, walleye, and musky are stocked annually.
Species include; largemouth bass, bluegill, crappie, northern pike, musky and catfish.
Both the smallmouth and trout have been stocked. Smallmouth populations appear to be in good shape and should provide ample fishing opportunity.
