General Information:

Norris Lake offers fishermen a wealth of water and a variety of fish. Twenty-eight major reservoirs, l9,000 miles of warm- and cold-water streams plus thousands of smaller lakes and ponds provide unlimited fishing opportunities year-round. And there are all kinds of fish to suit all kinds of fishermen: largemouth, smallmouth, spotted and white bass; striped bass, striped bass/white bass hybrids; walleye, crappie, bluegill, catfish; sauger, saugeye, musky, northern pike; plus rainbow, brook, brown and lake trout. Fishing Regulations Generally fishing is open year-round in the Volunteer State. A few selected areas, however, are closed during part of the year. Specific regulations are described in the annual Tennessee Fishing Regulations, published each March by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. Read it carefully for full details. Best Time To Fish Anytime you can! Even though Tennessee's fishing is excellent year-round, it is best in the spring and fall. In fact fall fishing is the most undiscovered bonanza we have. Water and weather conditions are almost always favorable in September, October and early November.
