White Bass
White Bass fishing near Franklin, North Carolina, offers a fun and fast-paced experience, particularly during their spring spawning runs. Nantahala Lake is a good option for targeting White Bass. These fish migrate upstream to spawn in the tributaries, concentrating them in predictable locations. The peak of the run typically occurs in late March and April, depending on water temperatures. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are effective lures. Focus your efforts near the mouths of creeks and rivers that flow into the lake. A local tip: pay attention to water clarity, as White Bass prefer clear water. If the tributaries are muddy, try fishing in the main lake near the creek mouths. Remember that White Bass are schooling fish, so if you catch one, there are likely more nearby. Access to Nantahala Lake is available via several boat ramps, but be prepared for increased boat traffic during the spawning run. The White Bass here are generally not huge, but their numbers and aggressive strikes make for an exciting fishing trip.
