White Bass
White bass fishing around Bradshaw, West Virginia, presents a unique opportunity in the Tug Fork River system. While not as heavily targeted as other species, the Tug Fork does support a population of white bass, particularly during their spring spawning runs. These feisty fish can provide some exciting action. The best time to target them is typically from late March through May, when they migrate upstream to spawn. Focus on areas with current breaks, such as below riffles or near bridge pilings. A local angler's secret? Small jigs and spinners are incredibly effective. Also, be aware of water levels; the Tug Fork can fluctuate rapidly, so checking conditions beforehand is crucial. White bass are schooling fish, so if you catch one, there are likely more nearby. Keep moving and casting to maximize your chances of hooking up. These fish are known for their aggressive strikes, so hold on tight!
