Largemouth Bass
Copeland, Kansas, while a smaller town, puts you within reach of some decent largemouth bass fishing opportunities in the southwest part of the state. Several smaller lakes and ponds dot the landscape and can provide surprisingly good action. These smaller bodies of water warm up quickly in the spring, making it a great time to target bass in shallow water as they move in to spawn. Focus on areas with vegetation, submerged timber, and any other type of cover. Topwater lures, spinnerbaits, and Texas-rigged plastics are all effective choices. Access can vary; some lakes have public access points, while others may require permission from private landowners. Check with local bait shops for information on the best spots and current conditions. The bass in these smaller lakes tend to be aggressive, but they can also be pressured, so vary your presentation and try different lures until you find what they're biting on. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain the quality of the fishery.
