Bass anglers heading to Clinton, Louisiana, will find some decent largemouth fishing in the smaller lakes and streams dotting the area. While not known for trophy bass, the Amite River and its associated backwaters offer a chance to catch good numbers of fish. Spring is undoubtedly the best time, as the bass move shallow to spawn. Target areas with vegetation, cypress trees, and any sort of structure that might hold spawning bass. Plastic worms, spinnerbaits, and crankbaits are all effective. Later in the year, focus on deeper water and use techniques like Carolina rigging or jigging. Public access can be limited, so research boat ramps and access points beforehand. Check the Amite River gauge before you go; the river can rise quickly after heavy rains, impacting fishing conditions. Local anglers often have success flipping jigs around fallen trees along the river's edge.
