How it is used here

Using a spinner like this on Tennessee water

A lure imitates what the fish is eating, and in Tennessee that is mostly shad and bluegill in the reservoirs, crawfish on the rocky lakes and smallmouth rivers, and insects and small minnows in the trout water. The lures on each checklist are the ones that match the forage on that kind of water and have caught fish here for years, not this season’s catalogue.

Colour follows the water. Natural shad and green pumpkin in the clear highland lakes like Norris and Dale Hollow; chartreuse, white and black in the stained water of Reelfoot, Kentucky Lake’s creeks and the Cumberland. The What’s biting pages on this site say which lures are working each month.
