Largemouth Bass

Bruno, Nebraska may be a small town, but the surrounding area offers some decent largemouth bass fishing in local ponds and small lakes. These aren't the sprawling fisheries of the South, but they can provide a fun day of angling. Focus on structure – submerged trees, weed lines, and rocky points are all likely bass hangouts. Spring and fall are the best times to target bass, as they're more active in cooler water. Topwater lures can be effective early and late in the day, while Texas-rigged worms and crankbaits work well for deeper water. Local tip: Many of these waters are on private land, so always seek permission before fishing. Additionally, water clarity can vary greatly depending on rainfall, so adjust your lure selection accordingly. The bass in these smaller waters often aren't heavily pressured, so even a simple presentation can be effective.
