About Emory River

Flowing through Tennessee, United States, Emory River is a river that suits anglers willing to walk a bank. Most fish at Emory River hold in identifiable lies — the same eddies, drop-offs, and shaded undercuts produce trip after trip. After heavy rain, Emory River can colour up and rise quickly; that's often when bigger predators come out to feed, but wading conditions get dangerous.

Fishing Techniques

  • For Largemouth bass

    Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.

  • For Smallmouth bass

    Focus your fishing efforts around rocky structures, ledges, and areas with current, as smallmouth bass prefer these habitats.

  • For White bass

    Look for birds diving or surface activity to locate schools of white bass, then use lures that mimic shad or minnows to entice strikes.
