Spotted Bass
While not as common as Largemouth Bass, Spotted Bass are occasionally found in the waters around Steele, North Dakota, though they are much less common than Largemouth. Any Spotted Bass caught around Steele are likely to be misidentified Largemouth or have been introduced, as this area is outside of their natural range. If you're specifically targeting them, focus on areas with rocky bottoms and clearer water. They tend to prefer deeper water than Largemouth, especially during the warmer months. Small crankbaits and jigs worked slowly along the bottom can be effective. Given their rarity, any Spotted Bass caught should be carefully identified and documented, perhaps even reported to local fisheries officials. Remember to always practice catch and release to help maintain the local fish populations. The best time to try for them would mirror Largemouth season, late spring into summer.
