Largemouth Bass
Princeton, Minnesota, offers several options for largemouth bass anglers. The Rum River, which flows through the area, and several smaller lakes provide diverse habitat. Look for largemouth in weedy bays, near lily pads, and around submerged timber. Lake Mille Lacs, while known for its walleye, also holds a healthy population of largemouth in its shallower, weedy areas closer to shore. Summer is prime time, especially early morning and late evening when the bass are most active. A Texas-rigged worm or a topwater frog can be deadly in the thick vegetation. A local tip is to pay attention to water clarity – the clearer the water, the more likely you'll need to downsize your baits and use lighter line. The largemouth in this area are generally healthy and aggressive, providing good sport for anglers of all skill levels. Be mindful of any size or bag limits on specific lakes or sections of the Rum River.
