White Bass
If you're looking for some exciting freshwater action in southern Virginia, Phenix is a great starting point for white bass. These fish make their spring spawning runs up the Staunton River (also known as the Roanoke River), which offers excellent access points near Phenix. The peak season is typically March through May, when the water temperatures start to rise. Focus your efforts around rocky shoals, creek mouths, and any areas with current breaks. A local tip: check water release schedules from upstream dams, as fluctuating water levels can significantly impact the bite. Also, be prepared for some bank fishing, as boat access can be limited in certain areas. White bass in this region are known for their aggressive strikes, so use lures like small crankbaits, spinners, and inline spinners. They are also susceptible to live minnows under a bobber. The Staunton River white bass are generally healthy and numerous, providing a fun and productive fishing experience.
