Seasonal Activity Chart
White Bass
If you're looking for some exciting springtime action, consider targeting White Bass in the waters around Ridgeway, Virginia. Smith Mountain Lake, a short drive away, is a prime location. These fish make their spawning runs up the lake's tributaries in early spring, typically March through April, providing anglers with ample opportunities for fast-paced fishing. Look for them near the mouths of creeks and rivers where they congregate to spawn. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are highly effective. A local tip: pay close attention to water temperature; the bite really turns on when the water hits the low 50s. Be aware that Smith Mountain Lake can get crowded, especially on weekends during the peak of the White Bass run, so arriving early or fishing during the week is recommended. The White Bass here are known for their aggressive strikes and spirited fights, making them a fun target for anglers of all skill levels.
