White Bass

If you're looking for a white bass run near Rollingwood, Texas, Lady Bird Lake might surprise you. While not as famous as some other Texas white bass destinations, this section of the Colorado River can offer some fast-paced action during the spring spawning run. Look for the whites to congregate near the inflows of creeks and streams that feed the lake, typically starting in late February or early March. Small jigs, inline spinners, and crankbaits are all effective. Because Lady Bird Lake is a no-wake zone, it's perfect for kayak fishing or smaller boats. Public access is available at several parks along the lake, but parking can be limited, especially on weekends. Keep an eye on local fishing reports to time your trip with the peak of the run, as it can be relatively short-lived. The white bass here are generally smaller than those found in larger reservoirs, but their sheer numbers make for a fun day on the water.
