White Bass
If you're looking for some exciting white bass action in north-central Kansas, Smith Center is a great place to start. The area's numerous small lakes and reservoirs, like Glen Elder Reservoir a short drive away, offer ideal habitat for these schooling fish. Spring is prime time, as the white bass congregate to spawn in the shallows and up the rivers that feed the reservoirs. Look for them around rocky points and submerged timber. Early morning and late evening are particularly productive. A simple inline spinner or small crankbait retrieved quickly through the water column is often all you need. Anglers should be aware that water levels can fluctuate, so check local conditions before heading out. Access to many of these lakes is readily available with boat ramps and shoreline access points, making it easy to target these feisty fish. The white bass here are known for their aggressive strikes, so be prepared for a good fight!
