Largemouth Bass
If you're looking for Largemouth Bass in the Finlayson area, you're in the heart of some classic Minnesota lake country. The numerous smaller lakes and flowages around Finlayson offer excellent bass habitat, with plenty of lily pads, reeds, and submerged timber. Early summer, after the spawn, is prime time, but you can find consistent action throughout the summer months. Focus on shallow weedy areas during the early morning and evening, switching to deeper edges as the sun gets higher. A local tip: check out the public access on Lake Pokegama. It's a good starting point, and the lake has a reputation for producing some quality bass. Also, be aware that many of the smaller lakes have limited access, so a small boat or kayak can be a real advantage. The bass here tend to be aggressive, so don't be afraid to throw topwater frogs or buzzbaits.
