White Bass

If you're looking for some fast-paced white bass action, Powell, Texas, offers some great opportunities, particularly in the spring. Head to nearby Richland Chambers Reservoir; its tributaries and the main lake become hotspots as the whites move upstream to spawn. The peak season is typically March and April, when the water temperature reaches the low to mid-60s. Look for them around shallow, rocky points and submerged timber. Small jigs, crankbaits, and inline spinners are all effective. A local tip: the Highway 287 bridge area is a popular access point and often holds good numbers of fish during the spawn. Be prepared for heavy boat traffic during peak season. Richland Chambers white bass tend to be plentiful but run a bit smaller than those in some other Texas lakes, so focus on quantity and enjoy the action.
