Seasonal Activity Chart
White Bass
White bass fishing near Shenandoah, Virginia, is a seasonal highlight, primarily centered around the spring spawning runs in the South Fork of the Shenandoah River. These fish migrate upstream from larger bodies of water to spawn, creating concentrated opportunities for anglers. The peak season is typically late March through April, depending on water temperatures. Look for them around rocky shoals and riffles where they congregate to spawn. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are highly effective. A key local tip is to pay attention to water clarity; white bass prefer clearer water, so target areas upstream if the river is muddy. Public access to the South Fork is available at several points along Route 340, but be mindful of private property. The white bass in the Shenandoah River are known for their aggressive strikes and strong runs, making for exciting light-tackle fishing. They typically average around 1-2 pounds, but larger specimens are occasionally caught.
