Largemouth Bass
Largemouth bass fishing around Watford City offers a unique North Dakota experience. While the area is better known for its oil boom, several smaller reservoirs and ponds provide surprisingly good bass fishing. Look to places like Arnegard Dam and other smaller impoundments in the area. These waters often have good weed growth and structure, creating ideal habitat. The best time to target largemouth is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Focus on the shallows during the spawn in late May/early June, then move deeper as the water warms. One local tip is to use weedless lures, as the vegetation can be thick. Also, be aware that access to some areas may be restricted due to private land, so always check regulations and obtain permission where necessary. The bass in these waters tend to be aggressive, and you might be surprised by the quality of fish you find.
