Largemouth Bass
If you're looking for Largemouth Bass in southwest Minnesota, the area around Morton offers some surprisingly good opportunities. The Redwood River and its associated backwaters, along with nearby lakes, provide diverse habitat. While not known for trophy bass, you can find good numbers of fish, particularly during the pre-spawn in late spring (May) and again in the fall as water temperatures cool. Look for them in areas with submerged vegetation, fallen timber, and near docks. A local tip: Focus on the slower-moving sections of the Redwood River itself, especially after a rain when the water is slightly stained. The bass will often move into these areas to ambush prey. Additionally, explore some of the smaller, unnamed lakes and ponds in the area; many are accessible by public access points or county roads and can hold hidden gems. The bass here tend to be opportunistic feeders, so spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and Texas-rigged worms are all effective.
