White Bass

While Arnold, Nebraska, isn't a white bass mecca, anglers can find decent action in the area's smaller lakes and reservoirs, especially during the spring spawning run. Look for white bass congregating near inlets or dam faces as they move upstream to spawn. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are effective lures. Focus your efforts early in the morning or late in the evening for the best results. Local tip: The white bass population here can fluctuate depending on water levels and spawning success, so it's always a good idea to check local fishing reports before heading out. Also, be prepared to move around to find the fish, as they tend to school up and can be here today, gone tomorrow. Consider smaller bodies of water that may have less fishing pressure.
