White Bass
White bass can offer some exciting schooling action near Fruitdale, South Dakota, particularly in the larger reservoirs and river systems. While not as abundant as in some other states, they can be found in decent numbers in places like the Belle Fourche River or potentially Angostura Reservoir further south. The key is to find schools of baitfish, as the white bass will be nearby feeding aggressively. Spring is a fantastic time, as they move upstream to spawn. Look for them near river mouths or in shallow bays. A local trick is to use small, flashy lures like spinners, spoons, or crankbaits, and to keep moving until you find a school. Pay attention to bird activity, as flocks of birds often follow schools of white bass feeding on the surface. The white bass in this region are known for their aggressive strikes, offering a fun and fast-paced fishing experience.
