The BEST Smallmouth Bass River You NEVER HEARD OF!! North Fork Holston River with Dale Allison

On this episode of Fishing the DMV, we break down one of Virginia’s most underrated spring smallmouth bass rivers, the North Fork of the Holston River, with local expert Dale Allison.

We dive into spring river smallmouth fishing strategies, including where to find fish, how warming water impacts behavior, and the best techniques for targeting pre-spawn smallmouth bass in current. Dale also shares key access points, float tips, and what makes this scenic river a true hidden gem for Virginia fishing.

We also explore the river’s unique history, its recovery from industrial impacts, and why it remains one of the most fascinating and resilient smallmouth bass fisheries in the Southeast.

If you’re looking to improve your spring smallmouth fishing or explore new Virginia waters, this episode is packed with value.
