Largemouth Bass
Ham Lake offers some surprisingly good largemouth bass fishing within easy reach of the Twin Cities. Several smaller lakes dot the area, offering varied structure and fishing pressure. Ham Lake itself is a popular choice, but don't overlook nearby Coon Lake or smaller, less-publicized waters. The bass here tend to relate strongly to weeds, docks, and any available cover. Early morning and late evening are generally best, especially during the summer months. Look for lily pads and submerged vegetation. A local tip: many anglers have success flipping jigs and Texas-rigged worms into heavy cover. During the spawn (late spring), target shallow bays and shorelines with visible nesting activity. The bass in Ham Lake and surrounding waters are generally healthy, with a good mix of sizes, so expect to catch some quality fish.
