    Dale Hollow

    I can go to Dale Hollow and usually catch a ton of smallmouth. But how in the heck do you catch largemouth there? Maybe I’m just looking in the wrong areas?

    This is the time of year, I catch the most LM at Dale Hollow. Usually, the LM and SM stay away from each other but in the spring I have found them, and the spots all together. I've caught the trifecta on a single spot in the spring, many times. Generally speaking though, if you want LM, fish shallower, around cover, in the back of the creeks. Of course, thats not always true, either. I have caught plenty on the main lake, targeting the brown fish.

    Fair point, but I will say whenever I do catch one it is a good one.

    There are no largemouth in Dale Hollow. Just look for smallmouth.
