Largemouth Bass

Head to nearby Lake Wilhelm, a reservoir just a short drive from Volant, for some excellent largemouth bass fishing. This lake boasts abundant weed beds, submerged timber, and varied structure, creating ideal habitat for largemouth. Spring and fall are the most productive seasons, as bass move shallow to spawn or feed aggressively before winter. During the summer, target deeper water near structure. Flipping jigs and Texas-rigged worms into the weeds is a classic technique. A local tip: pay attention to water clarity, as Lake Wilhelm can sometimes get murky. Adjust your lure color accordingly. The bass population in Lake Wilhelm is healthy, with a good mix of sizes. There are multiple boat ramps around the lake, providing easy access for anglers. Expect to encounter some fishing pressure, especially on weekends.
