Largemouth Bass
Albion, Michigan, offers some surprisingly good largemouth bass fishing, particularly in the Kalamazoo River and the smaller connected lakes and ponds. The Kalamazoo, while not known for trophy-sized bass, holds a healthy population of fish in the 1-3 pound range, perfect for a fun day on the water. Spring (late May/early June) is prime time, as the bass are actively spawning in the shallows. Focus on areas with submerged wood, lily pads, and emergent vegetation. Fall can also be productive as the bass feed up before winter. A local tip: the stretch of the Kalamazoo near Victory Park offers easy access and decent bank fishing opportunities. Consider using weedless lures like Texas-rigged worms or spinnerbaits to navigate the heavy cover. The bass here are generally aggressive, so don't be afraid to experiment with faster retrieves.
