Largemouth Bass
If you're heading to Williams, Minnesota, and have largemouth bass on your mind, you're likely thinking of Lake of the Woods and its surrounding waters. While Lake of the Woods is known for its walleye, the back bays and connected smaller lakes around Williams hold surprisingly good populations of largemouth bass. These areas often have dense weed growth and shallow, protected waters that bass thrive in. Summer is prime time, particularly June and July, when the bass are actively feeding after spawning. Focus on areas with lily pads, reeds, and submerged timber. A great access point is the Rainy River, which connects to Lake of the Woods and provides access to these backwater areas. Use weedless lures like frogs, swimbaits, and Texas-rigged worms to navigate the heavy cover. The bass in these areas tend to be aggressive and willing to strike, so don't be shy about using topwater baits.
