Largemouth Bass
Willow City, North Dakota, might not be the first place you think of for trophy largemouth bass, but anglers in the know can find some surprisingly good fishing. The area's numerous small lakes and sloughs, often overlooked, hold decent populations of largemouths. The best time to target them is during the pre-spawn period in late spring (May-June) when they move into the shallows to feed. Summer can also be productive, especially using weedless presentations around the abundant vegetation. A key to success here is finding the less pressured waters. Many of the smaller lakes lack boat ramps, so be prepared to walk in or use a small kayak or canoe. Local tip: focus on areas with cattails and lily pads, and don't be afraid to experiment with topwater lures during low-light conditions. The bass in these smaller waters can be aggressive, offering exciting topwater strikes.
