If you're looking for Largemouth Bass in central Oklahoma, Shawnee offers some under-the-radar opportunities. While not as famous as some of the state's larger reservoirs, the smaller lakes and ponds around Shawnee can provide excellent bass fishing, especially if you're willing to explore. Spring and fall are prime times, as the bass move shallow to spawn or feed aggressively before winter. One often-overlooked spot is the North Canadian River, which flows near Shawnee. While it can be challenging to fish due to fluctuating water levels, patient anglers can find some quality bass holding in the deeper pools and around submerged structure. A local tip: Pay attention to recent rainfall. A slight rise in water level can trigger a feeding frenzy. Public access is available at several points along the river and smaller city lakes, but be sure to check local regulations.
