Fish for White Bass and
Wipers
Throughout the month
Statewide
Game and Parks Fisheries Biologist Daryl Bauer writes: "July
and August can be great times to take advantage of schooling
activity by white bass and wipers on many Nebraska
reservoirs. During these months, these open-water predators
pursue the vast schools of open-water baitfi sh, especially
gizzard shad, and when they push one of those baitfi sh
schools to the surface, there is a feeding frenzy! That is most
likely to happen early and late in the day, but sometimes that
activity can last longer. Even if it does not, it offers at least a
couple hours of fast action each day."
