Largemouth Bass
Yankton, South Dakota, offers a diverse landscape for pursuing largemouth bass, from the Missouri River backwaters to smaller, more secluded lakes. Lewis and Clark Lake, in particular, is known for its healthy bass population and varied structure. Spring is a fantastic time, as the bass move shallow to spawn; target bays and coves with warming water. Fall is also productive as bass feed aggressively before winter. Try crankbaits and spinnerbaits along rocky shorelines and points, or flip jigs into submerged timber. The Missouri River system also holds bass, but navigating the current can be challenging. A local tip: Consider exploring the smaller, less-pressured lakes and ponds off the main river channel for some surprisingly good bass fishing. Pay attention to water clarity; stained water often calls for darker lures and slower retrieves.
