About this water
The North Fork of the Holston River in northeast Tennessee offers excellent smallmouth bass fishing along with stocked trout in designated sections. The river flows through a scenic valley with good public access and diverse habitat including riffles, pools, and rocky runs. Smallmouth bass fishing is particularly productive in summer months using topwater lures and soft plastics.
