Largemouth Bass

If you're heading to Harrison, Nebraska, for some largemouth bass action, keep in mind that the fishing here is largely dependent on smaller reservoirs and ponds scattered throughout the area. These aren't sprawling lakes, but they can hold some surprisingly good bass, especially if you know where to look. Spring is prime time, as the bass move shallow to spawn, making them more accessible. Early morning and late evening are generally the most productive times. A local tip: Many of these ponds are on private land, so always obtain permission before fishing. Focus on areas with submerged vegetation or downed timber, as these provide excellent cover for bass. Don't be afraid to experiment with different lure presentations, as the bass in these smaller waters can be finicky. Given the climate, ice fishing is also a possibility in winter, but always check ice conditions before venturing out.
