White Bass
For fast-paced action, consider fishing for White Bass in the Platte River near Arlington, Nebraska. These schooling fish provide exciting opportunities, especially during their spring spawning run. The best time to target white bass is from April to June, when they migrate upstream to spawn. Look for them in areas with current, such as below dams and in river bends. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are all effective lures. A local tip: when you find one white bass, you'll likely find many more. Keep moving and casting until you locate a school. The white bass in the Platte River typically range from 1-3 pounds, and they are known for their aggressive strikes and strong runs. Be aware of changing water levels and currents, especially after heavy rains. The Platte River offers several public access points, making it easy to find a spot to fish. Be sure to check local fishing reports for the latest information on white bass activity.
