Largemouth Bass
Largemouth Bass fishing near Chancellor, South Dakota, revolves around smaller lakes, ponds, and sloughs scattered across the landscape. While not known for trophy bass, these waters can offer surprisingly good action. Look for bass in areas with heavy vegetation, such as cattails and lily pads. The best time to fish is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Topwater lures can be particularly effective in the early morning and late evening. Local tip: Because these are smaller bodies of water, they can be heavily affected by weather. A day or two after a rain can muddy the water, so clear conditions are preferable. Also, many of these ponds are on private land, so always obtain permission before fishing. Bass in this region are typically in the 1-3 pound range, but the sheer number of fish can make for a fun day on the water.
