White Bass

If you're looking for some fast-paced White Bass action, La Grange, Texas, might surprise you. The Colorado River, as it winds through Fayette County, provides a seasonal run for these schooling fish. The best time to target them is during their spring spawning migration, typically from late February through April. They move upstream, congregating below dams and in areas with current. Look for birds diving or surface activity to pinpoint their location. A local's secret: The area below the La Grange dam is a popular spot, but be prepared for crowds. For a more secluded experience, explore the river upstream of town, focusing on areas where smaller creeks enter the main channel. These Whites are typically smaller than those found in larger reservoirs, but their sheer numbers make for an exciting day on the water. Small jigs, crankbaits, and inline spinners are all effective lures.
