Largemouth Bass
Wessington, South Dakota, while a smaller town, is surrounded by excellent largemouth bass fishing opportunities in the prairie lakes and sloughs that dot the landscape. These lakes are fertile and can produce some real lunkers. The best time to target largemouth here is during the spring spawn and again in the fall as they fatten up for winter. Look for weed edges, lily pads, and submerged timber in lakes like Lake Byron or smaller unnamed sloughs. A Texas-rigged worm or a spinnerbait are classic choices. Be sure to have a good map or GPS, as some of the best fishing spots require navigating gravel roads and may not be well-marked. Also, pay attention to wind direction, as it can significantly impact water clarity and fish behavior in these shallow lakes.
