Spotted Bass
While North Dakota isn't typically known for spotted bass, the Devils Lake region near Brinsmade offers a unique opportunity. Due to stocking efforts and specific habitat features in connected sloughs and smaller lakes, a small population of spotted bass has taken hold. Spring, particularly late May and June, is prime time as the fish move into shallower waters to spawn. Focus your efforts on areas with submerged vegetation and rocky outcroppings. A key tip for Devils Lake is to watch the water levels, as they fluctuate considerably. This can significantly impact access and the location of fish. Look for local access points on the smaller, connecting lakes and sloughs – these often hold the highest concentrations of spotted bass. Remember that these fish are not native, so practicing catch and release is vital to maintaining this unique, albeit small, fishery.
