Smallmouth Bass
The smallmouth bass fishing around Black Earth, Wisconsin, offers a unique experience, largely centered on the smaller, more intimate waterways compared to other regions. The Black Earth Creek, while primarily known for trout, also holds a population of smallmouth, particularly in its deeper pools and slower sections. Spring and early summer are ideal, as the bass are actively spawning and guarding nests. Focus on areas with rocky bottoms, submerged logs, and overhanging vegetation. A good tip is to try using topwater lures early in the morning or late in the evening for explosive strikes. Also, be mindful of private property along the creek; access is limited in some areas, so check local regulations before you go. The smallmouth here may not reach trophy sizes, but they are scrappy and plentiful, providing exciting action for anglers using light tackle.
