Largemouth Bass
If you're looking for Largemouth Bass action in North Dakota, Minot offers some surprising opportunities in its surrounding waters. While not known as a bass mecca, Lake Darling, just north of Minot on the Souris River, is a solid option. This reservoir provides diverse habitat, from submerged timber and weed beds to rocky points, all holding bass. The best time to target them is during the pre-spawn in late spring (May-June) when they move into the shallows to feed aggressively. Fall can also be productive as they fatten up before winter. For bank access, try the areas around the dam or the various recreation areas along the lake's shoreline. A boat is beneficial for covering more water and reaching prime spots. Be aware that water levels can fluctuate, impacting access and fish location.
