“We had a blast and I am so happy that Nick not only caught a trout on his fly rod but that he caught the biggest trout.  He said he learned so much from you yesterday as I also did.  A great experience. Thanks again and we will be repeat customers, maybe even a float…

Spotted Bass

Various

Though Largemouth Bass get most of the attention, Spotted Bass can be found in the waterways around Angier, NC, offering a unique angling experience. While not as large or numerous as largemouth, they provide a fun challenge. The Cape Fear River and its tributaries hold populations of Spotted Bass. These fish prefer clearer, flowing water with rocky bottoms. Look for them around bridge pilings, rock piles, and current breaks. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target them, as they become more active with the moderate temperatures. Smaller crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and soft plastics that mimic crawfish or small baitfish are effective lures. Focus on areas with a good current flow. Access to the river can be limited, so research public access points and boat ramps beforehand. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain the population of these often-overlooked fish.
