White Bass

For white bass action near Richland Hills, consider venturing slightly outside city limits to Lake Worth or Eagle Mountain Lake. These reservoirs, both part of the Trinity River system, offer excellent white bass fishing during their spring spawning runs. The whites migrate up the river and creek channels to spawn, concentrating them in predictable locations. Look for birds diving or surface activity to locate schools of whites. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are all effective. The peak season is typically March and April, but it can vary depending on water temperatures. Public boat ramps provide easy access to both lakes. Be prepared for crowds, especially on weekends. A fish finder can be invaluable for locating schools of white bass, especially in deeper water. Don't be afraid to experiment with different retrieves to find what the fish are responding to on any given day.
