Spotted Bass
Spotted bass, also known as 'spots,' offer a fun alternative to largemouth in the Reedsville, WV, area. While not as abundant as largemouth, they can be found in the Cheat River and its tributaries. Spotted bass tend to prefer rocky areas and clearer water than largemouth. Focus your efforts around riffles, ledges, and submerged boulders. Small crankbaits, tubes, and Carolina rigs are effective lures. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target spotted bass, as they are more active in cooler water temperatures. Access to the Cheat River can be challenging in some areas, so consider using a kayak or canoe to reach more remote spots. Be mindful of water levels, especially after heavy rain, as the river can rise quickly. The spotted bass in this region are known for their aggressive strikes, so hang on tight!
