White Bass
While not as widely known as some other West Virginia locations, the area around Thomas offers some limited opportunities for white bass. The Cheat River is the primary waterway where you might encounter them. Focus your efforts on the lower reaches of the river, closer to where it flows into larger bodies of water. Spring spawning runs are the peak season, typically occurring in April and May. White bass will congregate below dams and in areas with current, so target these spots with small crankbaits, spinners, or jigs. Keep in mind that white bass populations in this area may be more localized and less abundant compared to other parts of the state. A local tip: check water levels and clarity before heading out, as heavy rains can quickly impact the river. The white bass here tend to be opportunistic feeders, so experiment with different lure presentations to find what works best on any given day.
