Spotted Bass

Spotted bass aren't typically a primary target in the Allen, Nebraska region, as their range is more common in southern states. You're more likely to encounter Largemouth and Smallmouth bass in the local waterways. Given the unlikelihood of encountering Spotted Bass, anglers should focus their efforts on the more prevalent species. If, however, you're determined to pursue Spotted Bass, research smaller, less-known ponds and creeks that may have been stocked in the past, though this is highly improbable. Focus on rocky areas and creek channels, using similar techniques as you would for Smallmouth bass: crankbaits, jigs, and Texas-rigged worms. Given the rarity of Spotted Bass in this area, it's crucial to properly identify your catch to ensure compliance with Nebraska fishing regulations. If you do happen to catch one, consider it a unique and unexpected bonus!
