Largemouth Bass
If you're looking for largemouth bass near Auburn Hills, Michigan, you'll want to explore the Clinton River and its connected lakes and ponds. While not a trophy bass destination, the Clinton River watershed offers accessible fishing with a decent population of bass, especially in the warmer months. Spring (pre-spawn) and fall are prime times, as the bass move into shallower waters to feed aggressively. Look for structure like fallen logs, weed beds, and docks in areas with slightly deeper water nearby. A practical tip: Check out the access points along the Clinton River Trail for bank fishing opportunities. Also, be aware that water levels can fluctuate, especially after heavy rain, so check conditions before you head out. The bass here tend to be on the smaller side, but it's a great place to hone your skills and enjoy some local fishing.
