Largemouth Bass

If you're looking for largemouth bass fishing near Wells, Nevada, your best bet is heading to local reservoirs and ponds. While not a trophy bass destination, these smaller waters can offer some surprisingly good action, especially during the warmer months. Spring (late April-May) and fall (September-October) are prime times as the bass move shallower to feed. Focus on areas with submerged vegetation, rocky points, and any available structure. Local tip: Many of these reservoirs are located on BLM land, so access is generally good, but be prepared for dirt roads and limited amenities. Also, water levels can fluctuate significantly depending on the season and rainfall, so check conditions before you go. The bass here tend to be opportunistic feeders, so spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and plastic worms are all good choices. Don't be afraid to experiment with different retrieves to find what the fish are keying on.
