Largemouth Bass
McGrath, Minnesota, nestled in Aitkin County, offers a classic northern Minnesota largemouth bass fishing experience. The region is dotted with numerous smaller lakes and flowages, many with undeveloped shorelines and abundant vegetation – perfect for largemouth. These lakes often feature dark, tannin-stained water, so adjust your lure colors accordingly; darker colors like black and blue often work well. Summer is prime time for bass, as they become more active in the warmer water. Focus on weed lines, lily pads, and submerged wood. A topwater frog worked over the thickest cover can be incredibly exciting. Many of these lakes have public access points, but some are smaller and less maintained, so a smaller boat or canoe/kayak can be advantageous. The bass here aren't generally giants, but the sheer number of fish and the scenic surroundings make for a memorable trip. Don't forget your bug spray; the mosquitoes can be fierce!
