Largemouth Bass
If you're looking for largemouth bass in the Columbia City area, you'll want to focus on the numerous small lakes and ponds scattered throughout Whitley County. These smaller bodies of water often provide excellent habitat and less fishing pressure than larger, more well-known lakes. Spring and fall are prime times to target largemouth. During the spring spawning season, look for bass in shallow, weedy areas. In the fall, as the water cools, bass will often move to deeper structure. A local tip: try fishing the chain of lakes near Churubusco. They offer a variety of cover and depths. Also, be aware that water clarity can vary greatly depending on recent rainfall, so adjust your lure selection accordingly. Darker colored baits often perform better in stained water. The bass in these waters tend to be opportunistic feeders, so don't be afraid to experiment with different presentations.
