White Bass

White Bass

Various

If you're looking to tangle with some white bass in Northern Virginia, the tidal freshwater of the Potomac River near Dumfries offers a solid opportunity. The white bass here are known for their aggressive strikes, especially during their spring spawning runs up the tributaries. Focus your efforts from late March through May as the water warms. They congregate near creek mouths and rocky points. A local tip: check the water clarity before heading out; heavy rains can muddy the river, pushing the fish further downstream. The Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge provides good bank access, but a small boat or kayak will allow you to cover more ground and find those concentrated pockets of fish. Use small crankbaits, spinners, or even live minnows to entice a bite. Remember that white bass are schooling fish, so when you find one, there are likely more nearby.
