Largemouth Bass
Selby, South Dakota, offers quality largemouth bass fishing in several smaller lakes and reservoirs in the surrounding area. These waters, like Swan Lake and some of the smaller stock dams, provide ideal habitat for largemouth to thrive. Spring and early summer, during the spawn, and again in the fall as they feed heavily, are peak seasons. Focus on shallow, weedy areas, submerged timber, and points. Spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and Texas-rigged worms are all effective lures. Access to these lakes varies, with some having developed boat ramps and others requiring more of a walk-in approach. Check local regulations regarding slot limits, as some lakes have specific size restrictions. The largemouth bass in these waters are generally healthy and aggressive, providing anglers with a rewarding fishing experience. Look for areas with good vegetation – this is where the bass will be ambushing prey.
