Largemouth Bass
For Largemouth Bass near Flushing, look no further than the Shiawassee River and the connected Shiawassee Flats. This area is a haven for bass due to its diverse habitat, including weed beds, lily pads, and submerged timber. The Flats, in particular, offer vast expanses of shallow water ideal for bass spawning and feeding. The best time to target largemouth here is during the spring spawning season and again in the fall as they fatten up for winter. A local secret is to focus on the edges of the weed beds with topwater lures or Texas-rigged plastics. Access can be gained through several boat launches along the river, but be aware that the water levels can fluctuate, so check conditions before heading out. The bass in the Shiawassee Flats are known for their aggressive strikes and decent size, making for an exciting fishing experience.
