White Bass
White Bass fishing near Parsons, WV, can be a rewarding experience, especially during their spring spawning runs. While the Cheat River system itself doesn't have a huge white bass population, nearby tributaries and especially the Tygart River can offer opportunities. Focus your efforts during the spring months (April-May) when the White Bass migrate upstream to spawn. Look for them in areas with current, such as below riffles and near bridge pilings. Small jigs, spinners, and crankbaits are effective lures. A key local tip is to pay attention to water clarity; White Bass prefer clearer water, so fish the tributaries after a period of stable weather. Access to the rivers is available from various public access points and bridge crossings. The White Bass in these rivers tend to be smaller than those found in larger reservoirs, but they are still feisty fighters and provide excellent light-tackle action.
