Largemouth Bass
Don't underestimate the largemouth bass fishing around Hitchcock, South Dakota! While it's a smaller town, the surrounding area is dotted with prairie lakes and smaller impoundments that can hold some surprisingly good bass populations. The best time to fish is during the spring spawn (May-June) and again in the fall (September-October) as water temperatures cool. Look for bass around weed edges, docks, and any other structure that provides cover. A good starting point is Lake Hitchcock, but be sure to explore some of the smaller, less-pressured ponds as well. A local tip is to try using spinnerbaits or crankbaits along the weedlines. These lures can be very effective for covering water and triggering strikes. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and creel limits. The bass in these waters can be sensitive to fishing pressure, so practicing catch and release is encouraged.
