White Bass
If you're looking to tangle with some White Bass in the western Piedmont of North Carolina, Rutherford College offers access to some productive waters. Lake Rhodhiss is a key location, offering a good population of Whites that move predictably throughout the year. Spring is prime time, when they run up the Catawba River and its tributaries to spawn. Target the mouths of creeks and shallow, rocky areas with jigs, spinners, or small crankbaits. Another option is the Catawba River itself, both above and below Lake Rhodhiss. Be aware that river levels can fluctuate dramatically depending on dam releases, so check conditions before you go. A local tip: focus on areas with current breaks or eddies; these are ambush points where White Bass lie in wait for baitfish. Bank access is limited in some areas, so a small boat or kayak can significantly expand your fishing options. The White Bass here average a decent size, with some exceeding two pounds – a respectable catch for this species.
