Largemouth Bass
Largemouth bass fishing in the Auburn, West Virginia area revolves around the Little Kanawha River and its impoundments, as well as smaller lakes and ponds scattered throughout the region. These waterways offer a mix of habitat, from shallow, weedy flats to deeper, more structured areas, providing ample opportunity for bass to thrive. Spring and fall are generally considered the best times to fish, as the bass are actively feeding in preparation for spawning or winter. Look for areas with submerged timber, rocky points, and weed lines, as these often hold concentrations of fish. A local piece of advice: pay attention to water clarity, as the river can become muddy after heavy rains. When the water is clear, try using more natural-looking lures; when it's murky, opt for brighter colors and lures that create a lot of vibration. The bass in this area tend to be relatively healthy, and you might even hook into a few smallmouth bass while you're at it.
