Largemouth Bass
Waterford, Wisconsin offers some fantastic largemouth bass fishing opportunities, particularly within the Fox River and the connected Chain O' Lakes. What makes this area special is the diverse habitat – from shallow, weedy bays to deeper, channel edges, providing varied structure that bass love. Spring is prime time, as the bass move into the shallows to spawn. Throw spinnerbaits and soft plastics around emerging vegetation for aggressive pre-spawn and spawning bass. Summer sees the fish retreating to deeper, cooler water, often relating to submerged wood or weedlines. Try crankbaits or Texas-rigged worms. Fall brings another feeding frenzy as bass fatten up for winter, so don't be afraid to use larger lures. A local tip: the DNR boat launch on the Fox River just north of Waterford provides excellent access to both upstream and downstream fishing. Be aware of fluctuating water levels, especially after heavy rains, as this can impact water clarity and fishing success. The bass here tend to be healthy and robust, often with good size due to the rich forage base.
