What is the best time of year to fish?

Greenville is blessed to have a plethora of different freshwater species nearby. Here are our favorites and the times of year we chase them.

Largemouth Bass: America's favorite fish, the largemouth bass, is in just about every puddle or river in the Greenville area. Largemouth Bass can be caught with some regularity year-round, but they shine in the Spring from March through May. They come up to the shallows to spawn, guard their fry, and then feed on bluegill and other sunfish beginning their spawn. This allows us to target bass from the shore with fly and spinning tackle and hunt for our biggest bass of the year.

Bartram's (Redeye) Bass: The most exciting time to chase redeye bass is during the warmer months of April to October. Although we catch them in certain areas throughout the Winter, it is hard to beat a feisty Bartram's Bass on a popper, and that is best done during the late spring and Summer months. Unfortunately, many of the Bartram's Bass in our favorite streams have been hybridized with Alabama Spotted Bass due to illegal stocking of Alabama Spotted Bass.
