White Bass
If you're after white bass in South Dakota, the lakes surrounding Canova can be surprisingly productive. These schooling fish offer fast-paced action, especially during their spring spawning runs. Look for them in the Big Sioux River, which has connecting lakes and tributaries. Spring is prime time, as they migrate upstream to spawn. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are all effective lures. Focus on areas with current or near bridge pilings. A local tip: when you find one white bass, you'll often find many more. Be prepared to move around to locate active schools. Lake Herman State Park provides good access to the lake and the river, with boat ramps available. Check South Dakota's fishing regulations for limits and any specific restrictions on the river. These fish are great fried!
