Lake Ann, Michigan, provides a classic northern Michigan setting for largemouth bass. The lake's clear water and abundant vegetation create ideal habitat. Largemouth bass fishing is best from late spring through early fall. During the spawn, target shallow bays with soft bottoms and emergent vegetation. As the water warms, bass will move to deeper weedlines and submerged structure. A local tactic is to fish the numerous docks and boat houses around the lake with jigs or Texas-rigged worms. The bass in Lake Ann are generally healthy and aggressive, offering a fun fight. Consider using polarized sunglasses to spot fish in the clear water. The lake also has a good population of smaller panfish, which provides ample forage for the bass. Keep an eye out for bass chasing baitfish near the surface, and be ready to capitalize on the opportunity.
