Largemouth Bass
Ottoville, Ohio, offers some solid largemouth bass fishing, primarily in local ponds and smaller lakes. While there isn't a huge, well-known reservoir right in town, the surrounding Putnam County area has numerous smaller bodies of water that can produce quality bass. Spring (pre-spawn and spawn) and fall are your best bets. During the spring, focus on shallow, weedy areas where bass are preparing to spawn or guarding their nests. In the fall, as the water cools, bass will be actively feeding to fatten up for winter. A good local tactic is to use weedless lures, like Texas-rigged worms or spinnerbaits, to navigate the often-dense vegetation. Many of these smaller lakes have public access points, but be respectful of private property and always obtain permission if needed. The bass in these smaller waters tend to be opportunistic feeders, so experiment with different lure presentations to see what they're hitting on any given day.
