Current Fishing Weather
Wind Speed and Direction
Wind Direction:
Wind Speed:
Wind Direction and Speed are one of the most important aspects for choosing a fishing spot. An offshore wind can help land-based anglers with longer casting distances, while an onshore wind will make kayak fishing safer. Often fish will also move to certain feeding areas depending on the wind direction. Check out the long term wind forecast at the charts below.
Fishing Barometer
Atmospheric Pressure:
Change since midnight:
Trend for next 6 hours:
Atmospheric or Barometric Pressure affects fish activity. The best fishing can be had on a rising barometer and also the time just before it is falling. A steady barometer in the higher ranges can also mean good fishing. A falling or low barometer reading without much change is usually not a very good time for fishing.
UV Effect on Fishing
As a rule of thumb, the higher the UV index, the deeper fish will move. Shallow water fishing is best done at times with a low UV index. When the UV is high, stick to early mornings, late evenings and shaded areas. The effect is less noticable in deeper water, but often a higher UV index can produce good results in the deep.

Fishing Overview Maryville
Maryville, TN fishing revolves around a trifecta of water types: Tennessee River reservoirs (Fort Loudoun and nearby Tellico Lake), cool tailwaters, and mountain-fed streams. This variety keeps something biting 12 months a year. Largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, crappie, catfish, and trout are the main draw, with seasonal shots at stripers, hybrids, and walleye.
On Fort Loudoun Lake just northwest of Maryville, bass fishing peaks in spring and fall. In March–April, work staging banks, secondary points, and the backs of coves with crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and Texas-rigged creature baits in 3–8 feet. As water warms into summer, largemouths slide to main-lake points, docks, and channel swings; target shade and current with shaky heads, football jigs, and deep-diving crankbaits. Fall brings shad chasers shallow—topwaters and small swimbaits around bait schools can produce all day on overcast, breezy days.
Tellico Lake, a short drive from Maryville, offers clearer water and better smallmouth potential. In late winter and early spring, drag finesse jigs, tubes, and Ned rigs on gravel points and bluff ends in 10–20 feet. Look for rock transitions and any isolated wood. During summer, night fishing is productive: slow roll spinnerbaits and big worms along riprap, bridge pilings, and channel edges to avoid boat traffic and sun.
Crappie are a key Maryville-area staple. Focus on brush piles, stake beds, bridge pilings, and dock edges on both Fort Loudoun and Tellico. In early spring, tight-line minnows or 1/16–1/8 oz jigs (chartreuse, white, or natural shad colors) around cover in 5–12 feet. Once they move deeper after the spawn, use your electronics to find schools over channels and suspended brush, then vertically jig or slow-troll.
Catfish action is reliable from late spring through fall on the Tennessee River sections near Maryville. Target outside bends, deep holes, and the downstream side of wing dams or points. Cut shad, skipjack, or chicken soaked on Carolina rigs or slip-sinker setups will handle channel and blue cats; upgrade to heavier tackle and live bait if you’re specifically hunting flatheads around rock and wood.
For trout, look to the Little River and other nearby mountain streams flowing out of the Smokies. In cooler months, small nymphs and egg patterns under indicators work well in pocket water and deep runs. When water warms slightly, drift dry-dropper rigs or throw small inline spinners and 1/16 oz marabou jigs in the softer seams and at the heads of pools. Use light line (4–6 lb mono or 5X–6X tippet) and keep presentations natural in the clear flows.
Bank anglers around Maryville can do well at public access areas, bridges, and park shorelines. At dawn and dusk, cast weightless soft plastics, small topwaters, or live bait under a float along riprap and laydowns for mixed bass, panfish, and the occasional catfish. During the day, downsize to small jigs or live worms and target shaded areas, especially behind current breaks.
Seasonally, think shallow in the spring, deep and current-oriented in the heat of summer, and bait-focused in the fall as shad move. Winter rewards slow, methodical presentations on vertical structure and steep breaks. Electronics help on the lakes, but reading bank contour, wind, and current will consistently put Maryville anglers on fish.
