Largemouth Bass

Largemouth Bass

freshwater

Timber Lake, South Dakota, offers a classic prairie largemouth bass fishing experience. While not known for giant bass, the area's numerous small lakes and stock ponds hold healthy populations of largemouth that are eager to bite. Spring and fall are the best times to target these bass, as they are most active when water temperatures are moderate. During the summer months, focus on fishing early and late in the day or target shaded areas. Plastic worms, spinnerbaits, and topwater lures are all effective presentations. A local tip: Many of the smaller lakes are best fished from shore or by wading, so be prepared to do some walking. Also, pay attention to the wind, as it can quickly change conditions on these open prairie lakes. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain the quality of the fishery.
