Largemouth Bass
Orono, Minnesota, nestled on the shores of Lake Minnetonka, offers fantastic largemouth bass fishing. Minnetonka's complex structure, including bays, points, weed beds, and docks, provides diverse habitat for largemouths of all sizes. The pre-spawn period in late spring (May-June) is prime time, as bass move shallow to prepare for spawning. Topwater baits and spinnerbaits worked around emerging vegetation are deadly. As summer progresses, target deeper weed edges and docks with jigs and Texas-rigged plastics. A local tip: Pay attention to water clarity. Minnetonka can be clear in some areas and stained in others. Adjust your lure colors accordingly. Also, launch at the public access on North Shore Drive for easy access to some of the lake's best bass fishing.
