Largemouth Bass
If you're heading to Richardton, North Dakota, for largemouth bass, you'll find some surprisingly good fishing in the area's smaller lakes and reservoirs. While not known for trophy bass, the consistent action can be quite rewarding. Spring and early summer, especially around the spawn, are prime times. Focus on shallow bays with emerging vegetation. As the water warms, bass will move to deeper structure like submerged timber or weed edges. Try Lake Ilo National Wildlife Refuge; it's a great starting point. A local tip: Pay attention to wind direction. Bass often congregate on the windward side of the lake, where the breeze pushes baitfish. Also, don't overlook the smaller, unnamed ponds on public land – they can hold some overlooked lunkers. The bass in this region tend to be opportunistic feeders, so spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and Texas-rigged worms are reliable choices. Remember to check the North Dakota Game and Fish Department regulations for any specific size or creel limits.
