White Bass
While not as widely known as largemouth bass fishing in Fairfax, Virginia, targeting white bass can be a fun and productive experience, especially during their spring spawning runs. The Occoquan Reservoir and its tributaries, such as Bull Run, can hold decent populations of white bass. The key is to time your trip with the spring spawning run, typically in April and May, when the fish migrate upstream to spawn. During this time, they can be found in large numbers near creek mouths and riffles. Small jigs, spinners, and minnow-imitating lures are effective baits. A local tip: pay attention to water temperature, as the white bass run is triggered by warming water. Also, be prepared for crowds, as the spawning run attracts many anglers. The white bass in the Occoquan Reservoir are known for their aggressive strikes and schooling behavior, making for exciting fishing. Remember to check water levels and flow rates before heading out, as these can affect the location of the fish.
