Largemouth Bass
For largemouth bass enthusiasts in the Colton, South Dakota area, a few smaller lakes and ponds offer decent fishing opportunities. While you won't find sprawling reservoirs, these smaller waters can provide some exciting action, especially if you're looking for a quick fishing trip close to town. The best time to target bass here is during the spring spawning season and again in the fall as the water cools. Look for bass around weed edges, submerged timber, and rocky structure. Spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and plastic worms are all effective lures. The smaller lakes around Colton can be sensitive to fishing pressure, so practice catch and release to help maintain the population. A local tip: check with the South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks website for lake survey reports, which can provide valuable information on bass populations and habitat conditions. Don't overlook smaller, less-known ponds; they can sometimes hold surprisingly large bass.
