Largemouth Bass

Arnold, Nebraska, might not be the first place that comes to mind for largemouth bass, but the region offers some decent fishing in smaller lakes and reservoirs. Look to local public lakes and smaller private impoundments (with permission) for your best bets. Spring and fall are the key seasons, as bass move shallow to spawn and then feed aggressively before winter. Focus on areas with vegetation, docks, or submerged timber. Local tip: The bass in these smaller waters can be pressured, so try using finesse techniques or unconventional lures. Also, pay attention to water clarity; if the water is clear, downsize your line and lures. Check with local bait shops for up-to-date information on the best spots and techniques. A smaller boat or kayak is ideal for accessing some of these smaller bodies of water.
