White Bass
White bass fishing near Highmore can be a blast, especially during their spring spawning runs. Look for them in Lake Louise, a popular local spot. These fish congregate in large numbers as they move upstream to spawn, providing fast-paced action. The best time is typically late April through May, depending on water temperatures. A key local tactic is to use small jigs, spinners, or crankbaits. White bass are aggressive feeders, so you can often catch them on a variety of lures. Shore fishing access is available at Lake Louise State Park, offering plenty of opportunities to target these schooling fish. Be aware that the bite can be very dependent on weather conditions. A sudden cold front can shut down the action quickly. The white bass in Lake Louise are known for their size, with some individuals reaching impressive weights. When they're biting, you can easily catch dozens of fish in a single outing, making it a great option for anglers of all skill levels.
