White Bass

[airedale]

Doing a little pre fishing season assessment and inspecting my fishing equipment getting everything ready to go come spring. I have two dedicated rods that I made up especially for White Bass. They don't have the notoriety of most game fish but for me they are one of the most enjoyable fish to catch. I was lucky growing up and living next to Fish Creek and Spring brings both big spawning runs of Walleyes and a few weeks later the White Bass. I have not fished for them recently but this Spring I am going after them. Light action rods, light line, small shiny spoons like Little Cleos, small Maribou jigs and with a fly rod Bucktail Streamers. If you hit a feeding school the action is ferocious and these Bass put up a good tussle. I have to say they for me are not the best eating fish but I still clean and eat everyone I catch.
