While not as renowned as some Southern states, Glade, Kansas offers surprisingly good spotted bass fishing in its network of small lakes and reservoirs. These fish thrive in the clear, rocky habitats found within the region. The best time to target spotted bass here is during the spring spawning season (April-May) when they move into shallower waters. Fall can also be productive as they feed aggressively before winter. A key to success in Glade is to focus on areas with submerged timber or rocky points. Many of the smaller lakes lack developed boat ramps, so be prepared to launch from the bank or use a kayak. The spotted bass in this area tend to be smaller than largemouth, so downsizing your lures can often trigger more bites. Remember to check local regulations for size and creel limits.
