Largemouth Bass
Springfield, South Dakota may be a small town, but it's surrounded by some excellent largemouth bass fishing opportunities. Lewis and Clark Lake, a short drive away, is the premier destination. This large reservoir offers a diverse habitat, from rocky shorelines to submerged timber, that holds a healthy population of largemouth. Spring is fantastic as the bass move shallow to spawn, and again in the fall as they fatten up for winter. Focus on the back of coves and weed lines with spinnerbaits, crankbaits, or soft plastics. Local anglers often have success flipping jigs around docks and brush piles. The bass in Lewis and Clark Lake tend to be relatively healthy and aggressive, providing for some exciting fishing. Be aware that wind can be a factor on the open water of the lake, so check the forecast before you head out. Several boat ramps provide easy access, but they can get busy on weekends during peak season.
