White Bass
For white bass action near San Jon, Ute Lake is the place to be. This reservoir is a well-known destination for anglers seeking these schooling fish. Spring is prime time for white bass, as they move into the shallows to spawn. Look for them near creek mouths, rocky points, and submerged structure. Small crankbaits, spinners, and jigs are all effective lures. A local tactic is to use a tandem rig with two small jigs or spinners to increase your chances of a strike. Be aware that white bass can be finicky, so experiment with different lure colors and retrieves until you find what they're hitting. Ute Lake State Park provides easy access to the lake with boat ramps and ample parking. The white bass in Ute Lake tend to run in good sizes, offering a fun and rewarding fishing experience. Keep an eye out for surface activity, as this often indicates a school of white bass feeding on baitfish.
