White Bass

White bass anglers will find Emory, Texas, and specifically Lake Fork, a rewarding destination. These schooling fish offer exciting action, particularly during their spring spawning runs. Focus your efforts in the creeks and rivers that feed into Lake Fork as the water warms up in late winter and early spring. White bass will congregate in these areas to spawn. Small jigs, crankbaits, and inline spinners are effective lures. A local tip is to look for bird activity, as flocks of birds often indicate schools of white bass feeding on the surface. Also, be aware that white bass movements can be unpredictable, so be prepared to move around and try different locations until you find them. Lake Fork's white bass population fluctuates naturally, so check local fishing reports for the most up-to-date information.
