Largemouth Bass
If you're headed to Bradshaw, West Virginia, in pursuit of largemouth bass, you'll want to focus your attention on the area's smaller lakes and ponds, and the slower sections of the Tug Fork River. While not known for trophy bass, these waters hold a healthy population of fish that are eager to hit a well-presented lure. Spring and early summer, particularly during the spawn, are prime times to target largemouth here. Look for shallow, weedy areas and submerged structure. A local tip: many of the smaller ponds are accessible only via footpaths and can be easily overlooked, so do your research and be prepared to hike a bit. Also, the Tug Fork can get muddy quickly after rainfall, so check the weather forecast before you go. The bass here tend to be opportunistic feeders, so spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and plastic worms are all good choices. Don't be afraid to experiment with different retrieves until you find what they're hitting!
