White Bass

While not as widely known as some other Tennessee locations, White Bluff and the surrounding areas offer some seasonal white bass fishing opportunities. Typically, the best time to target white bass is during their spring spawning run, when they migrate upstream in the creeks and rivers that feed into the larger bodies of water. The Harpeth River, which flows near White Bluff, can be a good option during this time. Look for areas with current and rocky bottoms, as these are prime spawning locations. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are effective lures. A key tip is to pay attention to water levels and clarity. Clear water and moderate flows are ideal. White bass in this region are generally smaller than those found in larger reservoirs, but they can provide fast-paced action during their spawning run. Be sure to check local fishing reports and regulations before heading out.
