Spotted Bass
While Ellsworth, Kansas, isn't renowned for its spotted bass fishing, dedicated anglers can find them in Wilson Lake, the state's clearest reservoir. Wilson Lake's rocky structure and deep, clear water provide suitable habitat, though spotted bass populations are relatively low compared to other species. Spring and fall are your best bets, as spotted bass tend to be more active in moderate temperatures. Focus your efforts around the dam area, rocky points, and submerged timber. Use finesse tactics like drop-shotting small worms or throwing crankbaits that mimic their natural prey. A local tip: be aware of the wind; it can pick up quickly on Wilson Lake, making boat control challenging. Also, consider using a fish finder to locate submerged structure, as this can significantly increase your chances of finding these elusive bass. Remember to check current Kansas fishing regulations before heading out.
