Largemouth Bass
If you're looking for largemouth bass in North Dakota, the Valley City area offers some surprisingly good opportunities, especially in the smaller lakes and reservoirs surrounding the town. Lake Ashtabula, a short drive north, is a prime spot, but don't overlook some of the smaller, less pressured bodies of water. The key here is structure; look for submerged timber, weed beds, and rocky points. Early morning and late evening are prime times, particularly during the pre-spawn (late spring) and fall feeding frenzies. Local tip: many of these lakes have limited access, so research boat ramps and shoreline access beforehand. Also, water levels can fluctuate, so check conditions before you head out. The largemouth in this region aren't giants, but they are plentiful and aggressive, providing consistent action for anglers of all skill levels. Spinnerbaits and Texas-rigged plastics are local favorites.
