White Bass
If you're looking for some fast-paced fishing action near Gretna, Virginia, consider targeting white bass. These schooling fish can provide a lot of fun, especially during their spring spawning runs. Head to the Roanoke River or explore the tributaries that feed into Leesville Lake. Spring, particularly March and April, is the peak season when white bass migrate upstream to spawn. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are all effective lures. Look for areas with current and structure, such as riffles and rocky banks. A local tip: Pay attention to bird activity, as flocks of birds often indicate schools of feeding white bass. Public access points along the Roanoke River will provide shore fishing opportunities. Be mindful of water levels, as high water can make fishing more challenging. White bass are not large, but their aggressive strikes and schooling behavior make for an exciting fishing experience.
