So what part are the white bass up there by? I was at Ft. Gibson dam and caught 5 buffalo a herring and either 3 or 4 whites... I never knew how much fun they were on a fly rod! (I sure wish I coulda started fly fishing for them eirlier )Well we were using a white and chartruse jig bout 8 foot under a large peice of foam and would strip it back and pretty much doodlesock it. It was tons of fun! Well thats all I have to say

A what? Dude, Herring are marine fish, perhaps it was a shad.

Skipjack Herring or maybe a hickory shad, kinda look like little tarpon. they are freshwater.

My bad. Here's a great link.

I guess my lack of big river schooling fish experience threw me off on this one.

Here is a link to a list of common names of Alosa chrysochloris

BTW, the Hickory shad - Alosa mediocris is a completely different fish.
