Largemouth Bass
Timken, Kansas, might be a small town, but it offers some decent largemouth bass fishing in nearby ponds and smaller lakes. While you won't find sprawling reservoirs here, the smaller bodies of water can hold some surprisingly good bass. Spring and fall are the most productive times, with the spawn in the spring and pre-winter feeding frenzy in the fall. Try fishing around weed lines, submerged structure, and any available cover. Local anglers often have success with spinnerbaits and plastic worms. Access to some of these ponds might require permission from landowners, so be sure to do your research and obtain permission where necessary. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain the quality of the fishery.
