Largemouth Bass
Balfour, North Dakota, might be a small town, but it's surrounded by some fantastic largemouth bass fishing. The numerous smaller lakes and sloughs in the area, often overlooked, can hold surprisingly large bass. These waters are nutrient-rich, providing ideal conditions for bass to thrive. Spring is a magical time, as the bass move into the shallows to spawn. Spinnerbaits, shallow-diving crankbaits, and soft plastics are all effective during this period. Summer can be tougher, but focusing on weed lines and submerged timber with Texas-rigged worms or jigs can produce. Fall sees another surge in activity as bass feed aggressively before winter. Public access can vary, so be sure to check local regulations and respect private property. A small boat or even a kayak can be advantageous for accessing some of the more secluded spots. The bass in these waters tend to be opportunistic feeders, so don't be afraid to experiment with different lures and presentations.
