Largemouth Bass

Wellfleet, Nebraska, while not widely known for bass fishing, can offer some decent largemouth action in its reservoirs and smaller lakes. These water bodies, often surrounded by rolling hills and grasslands, provide a scenic backdrop for a day on the water. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, as the bass move shallow to spawn or fatten up before winter. Look for submerged vegetation, rocky points, and fallen timber. A variety of lures can be effective, including crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and plastic worms. A local tip: Pay attention to water clarity. If the water is clear, try using more natural-looking baits and lighter line. If it's murky, opt for brighter colors and lures that create more vibration. The largemouth in these waters tend to be opportunistic feeders, so experiment with different presentations until you find what they're hitting.
