Seasonal Activity Chart
Largemouth Bass
Buffalo, Minnesota, offers surprisingly good largemouth bass fishing within easy reach of the Twin Cities. The numerous lakes dotting Wright County, like Buffalo Lake itself, provide diverse habitat, from shallow, weedy bays to deeper, structure-filled areas. Early summer, after the spawn, is prime time. Focus on working the emerging weedlines with spinnerbaits or Texas-rigged plastics. Fall can also be productive as bass fatten up before winter; try crankbaits along drop-offs. A local tip: Buffalo Lake can get busy with recreational boaters, especially on weekends, so plan your trips for weekdays or early mornings. Public access is available at several points around the lake, including a popular ramp on the west side. Don't overlook smaller, less-pressured lakes in the area; they often hold some real lunkers. The largemouth population here is healthy, with a good mix of sizes, and fish over 5 pounds are definitely a possibility.
