Largemouth Bass

Looking for Largemouth Bass around Burr, Nebraska? Your best bet is to explore the numerous farm ponds and small lakes dotted throughout the area. While these aren't massive fisheries, they often hold surprisingly healthy bass populations. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, as the bass are most active during these periods. In the spring, target shallow, weedy areas with spinnerbaits, lipless crankbaits, or soft plastics. During the fall, as the water cools, focus on deeper structure with jigs or Carolina-rigged worms. A local tip: many of these ponds are on private land, so always ask for permission before fishing. Even a polite request can open doors to some fantastic, secluded fishing. Also, be aware that Nebraska summers can get hot, pushing bass into deeper, cooler water during the day. Adjust your tactics accordingly.
