Ready or not, it’s just about curtain time on select rivers, creeks and tributaries that connect to major reservoirs all across Texas. Depending on who you talk to, the opening act of one of Mother Nature’s greatest shows could already be underway on a waterway near you.
The show in question is the annual white bass spawning run. Late winter and early spring are when the silver-sided sport fish stampede into rivers and creeks upstream from major reservoirs to create another generation of white bass for anglers to catch. The guys are always the first to make the move, soon to be followed by the ladies.
The fish make their way upstream in giant schools that can number well into the thousands. But that’s not the only reason the white bass run is considered by many to be one of freshwater fishing’s greatest shows.
