Largemouth Bass
Largemouth bass anglers will find Hawley, Minnesota, a promising base for exploring the numerous lakes and sloughs that dot the landscape. These fertile waters, often characterized by abundant vegetation, provide ideal habitat for largemouth. Focus your efforts on lakes like Buffalo Lake and nearby smaller bodies of water. The peak season runs from late spring (post-spawn) through early fall. During the summer months, target weed lines, lily pads, and submerged timber with weedless lures. A local tip: Buffalo Lake has a public access point, but can get busy, especially on weekends. Consider exploring some of the smaller, less-known lakes in the area for a more secluded experience. Also, be aware that water clarity can vary; in stained water, darker-colored lures and those with rattles can be particularly effective. The largemouth bass population in this area is known for its healthy numbers and decent average size, offering anglers plenty of opportunities for success.
