Largemouth Bass

Conconully, Washington, is a fantastic destination for largemouth bass anglers, centered around Conconully Lake and nearby Salmon Lake. What makes this area special is the combination of relatively clear water and abundant structure, including docks, submerged vegetation, and rocky shorelines. The best time to target largemouth here is during the spring spawning season (May-June) and again in the fall as the fish feed up before winter. During the spawn, focus on shallow bays and coves. Later in the year, try fishing deeper structure with jigs or crankbaits. A practical tip: Conconully Lake can get busy with recreational boaters in the summer, so consider fishing early or late in the day to avoid the crowds. The bass in these lakes tend to be aggressive, so don't be afraid to experiment with different presentations. You'll find boat launches and good shore access points on both lakes.
