They can be found west to California and east to New York, from Nebraska and Manitoba in the north to Florida in the south.

Whiterock Bass are limited to waterways that have an abundance of baitfish, primarily those that are members of the herring family. However, with stocking programmes, Whiterock Bass have been seeded to some 30 states with the greatest concentration is in the southern states.

Food Preference

As the Whiterock Bass is related to the white bass, food preferences and habits are pretty much identical. Whiterock Bass go for all the same baits, however, if fathead minnows are in abundance, then focus on using fathead minnows.

During spring and summer, insects become a top food as they are in abundance. Look for the bass under trees along sure lines as they fall into the water off trees. However, as summer gets on and the water heats up, the white bass head for deeper water and spend less time in the shallows.

Distribution

They can be found west to California and east to New York, from Nebraska and Manitoba in the north to Florida in the south.

Some of the best fishing spots for Whiterock Bass can be found in the west and include pretty much any lake in California, the Lahontan Reservoir in northern Nevada, Lake Tahoe, and Greers Ferry Lake to name a few.
