White Bass
White bass fishing near Tularosa, New Mexico can be a surprisingly productive pursuit, especially during their spring spawning runs. These fish migrate upstream in the Rio Grande and its tributaries, offering anglers a chance to intercept large schools. Spring is definitely the time to go, typically March through May, when the water temperatures start to rise. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are all effective lures. Focus your efforts on areas with current, such as riffles and runs. Bank access is available in several locations along the river, but be prepared for some walking to find the best spots. The white bass here are known to be aggressive strikers, providing plenty of action for anglers of all skill levels. Remember to check water flow conditions before heading out, as high water can make fishing more challenging. Also, be mindful of private property and respect any posted signs.
