Abstract:

The white bass is not native to North Carolina. After years of study, the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission in 1952 introduced the fish into specific waters that scientific tests indicated might be suitable for them. Currently they are found in the following state reservoirs: Mountain Island, Catawba, Fontana, Tillery, and Blewett Falls. Tatum describes the fish, its food habits, and what fishing for it is like.
