Largemouth Bass

Columbiaville, Michigan, situated near several lakes and the Flint River, presents a good opportunity to target largemouth bass. The numerous small lakes in the area, like Holloway Reservoir, offer classic bass habitat – think lily pads, docks, and submerged timber. Early morning and late evening are typically the most productive times to fish, especially during the warmer months. Spring, during the pre-spawn and spawn, can be particularly exciting. Consider using topwater lures like frogs and buzzbaits around heavy cover, or try flipping jigs and Texas-rigged worms into weed beds. A local tip: Holloway Reservoir can get weedy, so be prepared to fish through vegetation. The largemouth in this region are generally healthy, with opportunities to catch fish in the 2-4 pound range, and occasionally larger.
