Chouteau, Oklahoma, offers some surprisingly good largemouth bass fishing, primarily in the Grand River and its associated backwaters and creeks. The key here is understanding the seasonal patterns. Spring is prime time, with pre-spawn bass moving into the shallows to feed aggressively. Target areas with submerged timber and vegetation near spawning flats. Summer can be tougher, but early morning and late evening topwater action can be explosive. As the water cools in the fall, bass will again become more active, chasing shad in the creeks. A local tip: the Highway 412 bridge area is a known hotspot, but be mindful of boat traffic. Also, pay attention to water clarity; if the river is muddy, focus on clearer backwater areas. The largemouth in this area tend to be relatively healthy and robust, benefiting from the diverse forage base.
