White Bass

Dodd City is a great starting point for chasing White Bass, especially during their spring spawning runs. These fish migrate up rivers and creeks connected to larger bodies of water like Lake Texoma. The peak season is typically March and April, when the water temperatures rise. Look for them in swift-moving water below dams and in creek channels. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are all effective lures. A practical tip: Many anglers find success wading in the creeks and casting upstream, allowing their lures to drift naturally with the current. Also, be mindful of private property along the creek banks and always obtain permission before accessing the water. White Bass in this area are known for their aggressive strikes and schooling behavior, offering fast-paced action when you find them. Remember to check the current Texas Parks and Wildlife regulations for White Bass before heading out.
