“We had a blast and I am so happy that Nick not only caught a trout on his fly rod but that he caught the biggest trout.  He said he learned so much from you yesterday as I also did.  A great experience. Thanks again and we will be repeat customers, maybe even a float…

White Bass

freshwater

Fontana Lake offers seasonal opportunities for white bass fishing, particularly when they make their spawning runs. While not as abundant as some other species in the lake, white bass provide fast-paced action when you find them. The best time to target white bass is in the spring, as they migrate up the lake's tributaries to spawn. Look for them in the rivers and creeks feeding into Fontana, such as the Little Tennessee River. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are effective lures. A good strategy is to focus on areas with current and rocky bottoms. White bass tend to school tightly, so when you find one, you're likely to find more. Access to the tributaries can be limited, so a boat is often necessary. Be mindful of shallow water and submerged obstacles in these areas. While Fontana's white bass may not reach trophy sizes, their aggressive strikes and schooling behavior make for an exciting fishing experience.
