Largemouth Bass
For Largemouth Bass enthusiasts visiting Milbank, South Dakota, the surrounding prairie lakes and smaller impoundments offer some solid fishing opportunities. While not a trophy bass destination, you can find good numbers of fish. The best time to fish is during the spring and early summer when the bass are spawning, and again in the fall as they feed up for winter. Focus on areas with vegetation, docks, and any other structure that provides cover. Local tip: Try fishing the smaller, less-known lakes north of Milbank; they often receive less pressure. Plastic worms, spinnerbaits, and crankbaits are all effective lures. The Largemouth Bass in this region tend to be stockier than those found further south, likely due to the shorter growing season and abundance of forage.
