White Bass
If you're looking for a white bass bonanza in southwestern Virginia, the New River near Fries is a great place to start. This section of the river is known for its healthy population of white bass, especially during their spring spawning runs. Focus your efforts from late March through May when they congregate in the shallows to spawn. Look for rocky areas and current breaks; these are prime holding spots. A local tip is to access the river near the Fries Dam; there's public access on both sides. Small crankbaits, spinners, and white or chartreuse jigs work well. Be mindful of the river's flow, as it can fluctuate, and always check local regulations regarding size and creel limits. The white bass in this part of the New River aren't giants, but they are plentiful and feisty, offering consistent action for anglers of all skill levels.
