Largemouth Bass

Auburn, Washington, situated near the Green River and a number of smaller lakes, offers a convenient location for pursuing Largemouth Bass. While not a bass fishing mecca, several easily accessible lakes and ponds hold decent populations. Lake Tapps, though larger and somewhat further, is a popular choice known to hold some quality bass. The best time to target Largemouth is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Look for bass around docks, weed lines, and any submerged structure. Using Texas-rigged worms or crankbaits can be very effective. A local tip: try fishing the smaller, less pressured ponds in the area, as they often hold surprisingly good numbers of bass. Be mindful of local regulations regarding size and bag limits, and practice catch and release to help maintain the fishery.
