Largemouth Bass
If you're heading to Scanlon, Minnesota, for largemouth bass, focus your efforts on the St. Louis River and its backwaters. This stretch offers a unique mix of riverine and lake-like habitat, creating ideal conditions for bass. Look for areas with submerged timber, weed beds, and rocky outcroppings; these provide cover and ambush points for bass. The best time to target largemouth here is during the pre-spawn (late spring) and fall months when they actively feed. Summer can be productive as well, especially during early morning or late evening hours. For bank access, try the public access points along the river near Scanlon. Be aware that the St. Louis River can have fluctuating water levels, so check conditions before heading out. The largemouth in this area tend to be opportunistic feeders, so try a variety of lures, including crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and soft plastics.
