White Bass

White bass fishing near Bruno, Nebraska can be a thrilling experience, particularly during their spring spawning runs. While specific river systems holding white bass aren't named, keep an eye on local fishing reports for when the whites start their upstream migration. During the spawn, they congregate in large numbers, making for fast and furious action. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are all effective lures. Look for areas with current, such as below dams or in river bends. Local tip: Pay attention to water clarity, as white bass prefer clearer water. If the water is muddy, try using lures with bright colors and rattles to attract their attention. Outside of the spawning run, white bass can still be found in larger reservoirs and lakes in the region, often schooling near submerged structure. Trolling is an effective way to cover ground and locate these schools.
