They are widely distributed across North America, inhabiting large reservoirs and rivers.
White bass are distributed widely across the United States, especially in the Midwest.
Native to many northern habitats, they have been introduced in many different waters around the United States, particularly in southern locations.
They were also successfully introduced to Manitoba starting in the 1960s, where they have gained importance as a sport fish.
When not frightened, they will bite readily at live bait such as worms and minnows.
As seasons progress through the summer and fall, the amount of diet overlap decreases as a result of both fish increasing in length.
[8] White bass are found in high densities in the upstream segment of rivers.
This portion of the river becomes the most degraded, as a number of different kinds of fish live in this segment, as well.
[11] Eggs are laid in clear, relatively shallow water on plants, submerged logs, gravel, or rocks.
The female will then rise closer to the surface and begin spinning and releasing eggs.
