Largemouth Bass
Overland Park might be known for its suburban landscape, but it offers surprisingly accessible largemouth bass fishing. The numerous smaller lakes and ponds scattered throughout the area, many within city parks, are often overlooked gems. While these aren't trophy bass waters, they provide consistent action and are perfect for a quick fishing trip. Spring and fall are prime times for bass fishing in Overland Park. During the spring spawn, target shallow areas with vegetation. In the fall, bass will be actively feeding to prepare for winter, making them susceptible to a variety of lures. A great access point is the pond at Corporate Woods; it's easily accessible and well-maintained. Another tip: try fishing early in the morning or late in the evening for the best results, as the bass tend to be more active during these cooler periods. The bass in these smaller waters often respond well to topwater lures and soft plastics, making for exciting and engaging fishing.
