Fishing for Stripers in Tennessee

Todd Asher, a seasoned angler, has mastered catching striped bass below Melton Hill Dam in eastern Tennessee. The Tennessee Valley Authority's damming of rivers has created deep waters, abundant structures, channels, and flats, making eastern Tennessee a world-class fishing destination. Dam boils, where large volumes of water pour through the dam, attract striped bass, but fishing in these can be deadly. Asher shares his knowledge on boat handling, angling, and bait selection, emphasizing safety as a priority.
