Largemouth Bass
If you're looking for largemouth bass in northern Minnesota, Backus offers some great opportunities. The area is dotted with numerous smaller lakes that hold healthy populations of largemouth. Unlike some of the larger, heavily pressured lakes in the state, many of these smaller lakes around Backus offer a more secluded and rewarding fishing experience. Focus on lakes with good weed cover, as the bass here tend to relate strongly to vegetation. The best time to target largemouth is during the pre-spawn (late May/early June) and again in the fall as they fatten up for winter. Look for them around lily pads and submerged vegetation. For a practical tip, try using weedless lures like Texas-rigged worms or spinnerbaits to navigate the thick vegetation common in these lakes. Many of the smaller lakes have public access, but some may require a short carry. Check local DNR maps for access points.
