White bass fishing near Arlington, Kansas, can be surprisingly productive, especially during their spring spawning runs. Cheney Reservoir, while a bit of a drive, is the premier destination for white bass in this region. These feisty fish migrate up the Ninnescah River and its tributaries to spawn, creating exciting fishing opportunities. The peak season is typically April and May, when the water temperatures reach the mid-50s to low 60s. Look for them near riffles and rocky areas. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are effective lures. A local tip: Check the Ninnescah River water levels before you go; low water can make access difficult and concentrate the fish. Also, be aware that white bass are schooling fish, so when you find one, there are likely more nearby. Focus on areas where you see surface activity or baitfish.
