Largemouth Bass

Falls City, Nebraska, provides access to several smaller lakes and reservoirs that hold populations of largemouth bass. While not known for trophy-sized fish, these waters offer consistent action and a pleasant fishing experience. Spring and fall are the most productive times to target bass here. During the spring, focus on pre-spawn bass in shallow water near spawning areas. In the fall, as the water cools, bass will actively feed to prepare for winter. Try fishing with crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and soft plastics around submerged vegetation and structure. A local tip: explore the smaller, less-pressured ponds and lakes in the surrounding area. These often hold surprisingly good bass that haven't seen as many lures. Be mindful of the wind, as it can pick up quickly in this part of Nebraska. The bass in these waters tend to be opportunistic feeders, so experiment with different lure presentations to find what they're biting on.
