Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are all effective lures. A local tip: check the water levels of the Elkhorn River before you go; high water can make fishing difficult. Public access points along the river are somewhat limited, so scouting ahead is recommended. White bass in this area are known for their aggressive strikes and spirited fights, making them a fun target for anglers of all skill levels. The Elkhorn offers a relatively healthy population.
