White Bass
White bass fishing around Farmington can be a thrilling experience, especially during their spring spawning runs. Navajo Lake is the prime location. As the water temperatures rise in the spring, the white bass migrate upstream in large numbers, creating a frenzy of feeding activity. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are highly effective during this time. Look for them in the main lake near creek inlets and along rocky shorelines. A local tip: keep an eye out for birds diving on baitfish, as this often indicates the presence of white bass. Trolling is another effective technique, especially in the deeper parts of the lake. Be aware that white bass are schooling fish, so once you find them, you can often catch multiple fish in a short period of time. The fishery is characterized by boom-or-bust cycles, so check local fishing reports before you go to ensure the fish are running.
