White Bass

If you're looking for some exciting white bass action, the Calamus Reservoir near Burwell, Nebraska, is a prime destination. This large reservoir offers ample habitat for white bass, and they thrive in its clear waters. Spring is the peak season, as the white bass migrate upstream to spawn. During this time, they can be found in large numbers near the dam and in the river channels. Small jigs, crankbaits, and spinners are all effective lures. Trolling is a popular method for covering water and locating schools of fish. A local tip is to pay attention to the wind direction; white bass often congregate on the windward side of the lake. Be prepared for some fast-paced action when you find them. The white bass in Calamus are known for their aggressive strikes, so hold on tight. Public boat ramps provide easy access to the reservoir, but be aware that the lake can get crowded on weekends, especially during the spawning season.
