Largemouth Bass
If you're heading to Orient, South Dakota, for largemouth bass, you're in for some classic prairie lake fishing. While not as well-known as some of the larger glacial lakes in the eastern part of the state, the smaller lakes and stock dams around Orient can hold surprising numbers of bass. The best time to target largemouth here is during the late spring and early summer, as the water warms up and the fish move into shallower areas to spawn. Early mornings and evenings are particularly productive. Focus on areas with submerged vegetation or any kind of structure, as these fish tend to relate to cover. A local tip: many of these lakes lack developed boat ramps, so a smaller boat or even a kayak can be a real advantage. Also, be prepared for wind – South Dakota can get breezy! The largemouth in this region are typically opportunistic feeders, so spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and plastic worms are all good choices.
