White Bass

Albion, Nebraska, offers some fantastic white bass action in the Beaver Creek and associated tributaries. What makes this area special is the relatively shallow, clear water that allows for sight fishing opportunities during the spring spawning runs. Focus your efforts from late March through May when the white bass congregate to spawn. They'll often be found near structure, like fallen trees and rocky outcroppings. A practical tip is to access Beaver Creek from the various road crossings; many provide easy walk-in access. Also, pay attention to water clarity – after heavy rains, the creek can become muddy, significantly impacting visibility and fishing success. The white bass here tend to be of average size, but their sheer numbers during the spawn make for some exciting and fast-paced fishing. Small jigs and spinners are your best bet.
