Spawn Timing & Fishing
When do white bass run in spring?
White bass run upstream into rivers and tributaries to spawn at 58-64°F — typically March-April across the Mid-South and Lower Midwest. The run produces dense schools of fish concentrated in tributaries, where limits come fast on small jigs and inline spinners. Peak run is usually 2-3 weeks long.
