Seasonal Activity Chart

Largemouth Bass
Mountain Iron, Minnesota, located in the heart of the Iron Range, offers surprisingly good largemouth bass fishing. While the area is known for its mining history, the resulting landscape is dotted with numerous lakes and ponds, many of which hold healthy bass populations. The best time to target largemouth here is during the summer months, particularly June and July, when the water warms up and the bass become more active. Focus your efforts around weed lines, docks, and rocky structures. Try using topwater lures early in the morning or late in the evening for explosive strikes. A local's secret: many of the smaller, less-pressured lakes accessible via forest roads hold some real lunkers. Be aware that some lakes may have limited or no public access, so research beforehand is key. The bass in this region tend to be stockier than in southern Minnesota, likely due to the shorter growing season and abundant forage.
