White Bass
Menno, South Dakota, might not be the first place that comes to mind for white bass, but the area's network of small lakes and the Missouri River offer surprisingly good opportunities. The key here is the James River and its tributaries, where white bass congregate during their spring spawning runs. Look for them near riffles and below dams as they move upstream. Early spring, as the ice melts and water temperatures begin to rise, is prime time. Another excellent period is late summer into early fall when they aggressively feed before winter. A local tip: focus on the areas where the James River flows into the Missouri River. These confluences are white bass magnets. Be aware that water levels on the James can fluctuate rapidly, so check conditions before heading out. The white bass here are typically smaller than those found in larger reservoirs, but their willingness to hit a variety of lures and flies makes for exciting action.
