Lake Francis Case:   Daily limit of 25 with a possession limit of 50 is the harvest limit for White Bass, Rock Bass, Perch and Crappie.

White Bass also know as stripers, silver bass, or striped bass are found in plenty in big rivers.   White Bass like swift water and they are often found below dams and dikes.  To catch White Bass it is best to fish during clear, low water conditions during late summer and into late fall.

White Bass are sight feeders, artificial lures and small minnows are the best bait when trying to catch this species.  After locating a school of these fish, cast and retrieve white or yellow colored head jigs through the school of fish and wait for them to bite.   You can use the same tackle to catch White Bass as you would use to catch Walleye/Sauger, when the Walleye are biting so are the White Bass.

Lake Francis Case:   Daily limit of 5 with a possession limit of 10 is the harvest limit for Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass.

Smallmouth bass are usually bronze to brownish green in color, with dark vertical bars on their sides. Unlike the Largemouth Bass, the upper jaw does not extend beyond the end of their eye which is reddish in color.

Smallmouth Bass prefer rocky areas in streams and lakes where there is clear water. They usually feed off of minnows, shad and crayfish in lakes.  When fishing for Smallmouth Bass the most effective lures are ones that look like minnows, plastic worms and streamer flies. The fillets of a Smallmouth Bass are similar to that of a largemouth bass, mild tasting, white, flaky and low in oil.
