Largemouth Bass
If you're looking for largemouth bass around Willard, Ohio, you'll want to focus on the smaller lakes and ponds scattered throughout the area. Many of these are privately owned, so be sure to obtain permission before fishing. Public options, such as some of the smaller reservoirs and farm ponds, can also hold decent populations of largemouth. Spring is an excellent time to fish for bass as they move into the shallows to spawn. Topwater lures, spinnerbaits, and soft plastics are all effective choices. Summer can be productive as well, especially during the early morning or late evening hours. A local tip is to pay attention to the weed growth; bass often congregate around submerged vegetation. Also, consider using weedless lures to avoid getting snagged. While trophy-sized bass are not common, these smaller waters offer a chance to catch plenty of fish and enjoy a peaceful day of fishing.
