Largemouth Bass
If you're targeting largemouth bass near Nellie, Ohio, the area's numerous smaller lakes and private ponds offer some surprisingly good opportunities. While the Walhonding River itself isn't known for largemouth, the backwaters and connected ponds can hold some nice fish. Spring is prime time, as the bass move shallow to spawn. Look for warmer water temperatures in the shallower, sun-exposed areas. Fall can also be productive as the bass feed heavily before winter. A local tip: Many of these ponds are on private land, so always seek permission before fishing. If you can gain access, try using weedless lures around lily pads and submerged vegetation. The bass in these smaller waters tend to be opportunistic feeders, so a variety of presentations can work.
