Smallmouth Bass
While Smallmouth Bass aren't native to Florida, and specifically not to the Lake Okeechobee region near Belle Glade, attempts have been made to introduce them in other parts of the state. However, targeting them here would be extremely unlikely. You're far better off focusing on the abundant Largemouth Bass population that thrives in the lake's environment. If you are determined to try, research any stocking programs in other Florida lakes further north and west from Belle Glade. These areas may offer a more realistic chance of encountering smallmouth. Even then, remember to research the specific regulations regarding smallmouth bass in those locations, as they may be different from largemouth bass regulations.
