Largemouth Bass
If you're looking for largemouth bass near Hermantown, Minnesota, you've got a few good options within a short drive. The smaller lakes dotting the landscape around Hermantown, like Fish Lake and Island Lake, are your best bets. These lakes offer classic largemouth habitat: plenty of weeds, lily pads, and submerged timber. Early summer, after the spawn, is prime time, as the bass are actively feeding to recover. Fall can also be productive as they bulk up for winter. A local tip: Pay attention to water clarity. If the water is clear, use natural-colored baits and lighter line. If it's stained, switch to darker colors and baits that create more vibration. There are several public access points around Island Lake, but be aware that some are better suited for smaller boats or canoes due to shallow launches. The largemouth here typically run in the 1-3 pound range, but you can certainly find bigger fish pushing 5 pounds if you work the right structure.
