Largemouth Bass

Broken Bow, Nebraska, provides some excellent largemouth bass fishing, particularly in the area's many smaller lakes and reservoirs. While not a trophy bass destination, it's a great spot for consistent action. Spring and fall are the prime times, as the bass move into shallower water to feed and spawn. The local lakes often have submerged vegetation, so weedless lures like Texas-rigged worms or spinnerbaits are a must. A helpful hint: pay attention to water clarity. If the water is clear, opt for more natural-looking colors; if it's stained, brighter colors like chartreuse or firetiger can be more effective. Public access is generally good, with boat ramps and shore fishing opportunities available at most lakes. The largemouth bass in this region tend to be relatively aggressive, making them a fun target for anglers using a variety of techniques. Don't overlook topwater lures during the early morning or late evening hours – the explosive strikes can be exhilarating.
