Seasonal Activity Chart

Largemouth Bass
Largemouth bass fishing near Cloquet, Minnesota, centers around several smaller lakes and flowages connected to the St. Louis River system. These waters offer classic northern bass habitat, with plenty of weeds, lily pads, and submerged timber. Prime time is late spring through early fall. The post-spawn period in late May and June can be explosive. Fish the weed edges and lily pads with topwater frogs or spinnerbaits. As summer progresses, switch to deeper-diving crankbaits or Texas-rigged worms around submerged structure. A local tip: the St. Louis River itself, particularly the backwater areas, can hold some surprisingly large bass. Be aware of current and potential snags. The bass in this area tend to be relatively aggressive, so don't be afraid to experiment with different lure presentations. Boat access is available at several public landings, but some lakes are smaller and better suited for canoes or kayaks.
