Largemouth Bass
For Largemouth Bass near Salem, Missouri, look no further than Montauk State Park and its surrounding streams. While primarily known for its trout fishing, the park's Current River and its tributaries also hold a healthy population of bass. Focus your efforts in the slower-moving sections of the river, near submerged timber, and around weed beds. Spring and fall are the best times to target bass here, as they are more active during these periods. Topwater lures, crankbaits, and soft plastics are all effective choices. A local tip: the Current River can be crystal clear, so use lighter line and natural-colored lures to avoid spooking the fish. Also, be aware of the special regulations in place within Montauk State Park, including catch-and-release restrictions on certain sections of the river. While you might not catch a trophy-sized bass, the scenic beauty of the area and the challenge of fishing clear water make for a rewarding experience.
