White Bass
If you're looking for some fast-paced white bass action, Butte, North Dakota, offers some surprisingly good opportunities. The key is Lake Darling, a large reservoir on the Souris River just a short drive north of town. This reservoir is known for its healthy white bass population, which tends to school up aggressively, making for some exciting fishing when you find them. The best time to target these fish is during the spring spawning run, when they move into shallower areas of the lake. Trolling crankbaits or casting small jigs and spinners around points and submerged structure can be very productive. Also, keep an eye out for surface activity, as white bass will often chase baitfish to the top. A practical tip: the boat ramp at the Lake Darling State Park provides excellent access to the main lake. Be aware that water levels can fluctuate significantly, so check conditions before you go. The white bass here average around 1-2 pounds, but you might find a few larger ones in the mix.
