White Bass

White bass fishing near Providence Village means heading to Lake Lewisville. This large reservoir offers excellent white bass opportunities, especially during their spring spawning run. These fish school up in massive numbers as they migrate upstream, providing fast-paced action for anglers. The best time to target them is from late February through April, when they move into the Elm Fork and Little Elm Creek arms of the lake. Look for birds diving on baitfish, as this is a telltale sign of white bass activity. Small crankbaits, spinners, and jigs are all effective lures. A local tip is to use a tandem rig with two small jigs to increase your chances of catching multiple fish at once. Be aware that the water levels on Lewisville can fluctuate, so check conditions before you go. The white bass population here is strong, and it's not uncommon to catch dozens of fish in a single outing.
