Largemouth Bass
Carlton, Minnesota, while perhaps better known for its trout streams, also offers some decent largemouth bass fishing. Focus your efforts on the smaller lakes and ponds scattered throughout the area, as well as the sloughs and backwaters connected to the St. Louis River. These often-overlooked waters can hold some surprisingly good bass. Early summer, after the spawn, and early fall, as the bass feed up before winter, are prime times. A practical tip: explore the smaller, less-pressured lakes using a kayak or canoe to access remote areas. Look for lily pads, submerged timber, and weed lines. Try using topwater frogs or buzzbaits in the summer and crankbaits or jigs in the fall. Be aware that the water clarity can vary depending on recent rainfall. Bass in this area are typically not as large as those found further south, but the solitude and scenic beauty make for a rewarding fishing experience.
