Largemouth Bass

If you're chasing largemouth bass near Glenview Hills, Kentucky, you'll want to focus your efforts on the Ohio River and its connected backwaters, as well as nearby smaller lakes and ponds. These waters offer diverse habitat, from submerged timber and rocky shorelines to weed beds and lily pads, all prime locations for bass to ambush prey. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, as the bass move shallow to spawn or fatten up before winter. A local tip: pay attention to water clarity after rainfall. The Ohio River can get muddy quickly, pushing bass into clearer tributaries or backwater areas. Focus on edges where the clear and murky water meet. Also, remember that many smaller ponds are private, so always obtain permission before fishing. The largemouth bass population in this region is generally healthy, with opportunities to catch both numbers and some quality-sized fish.
