Seasonal Activity Chart
White Bass
White Bass fishing near Farmington, West Virginia, centers around the Monongahela River. These schooling fish provide exciting action when you find them. The best time to target white bass is during their spring spawning run, typically from late April to early June. They migrate upstream, congregating in areas with current, like below dams and at the mouths of tributaries. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are all effective lures. Look for surface activity, as white bass often chase baitfish near the surface. A local tip: Check the water release schedule from the dam upstream, as increased flows can concentrate the fish. You can access the river at various points along Route 19, but be mindful of private property. The white bass in the Monongahela are known for their aggressive strikes and strong runs, making them a popular target for anglers of all skill levels. They are also delicious when filleted and fried, so don't forget to bring a cooler.
