Largemouth Bass
Brandon, South Dakota, offers some surprisingly good largemouth bass fishing within easy reach of town. While you won't find sprawling natural lakes, several smaller lakes and ponds, often associated with the Big Sioux River watershed, hold decent populations of bass. These smaller bodies of water warm up quickly in the spring, making for an early start to the fishing season. Look for emergent vegetation, docks, and any other structure that might provide cover for bass. Topwater lures can be effective in the early morning and evening during the warmer months. A local tip: check out the smaller, less-publicized ponds on public land; they often hold overlooked bass. Fishing pressure can be moderate in some of the more popular spots, so consider exploring a little to find your own honey hole. Spring and fall are prime times, with bass actively feeding to prepare for spawning or winter.
