Spotted Bass
Spotted bass, also known as Kentucky bass, are not typically found in South Dakota's natural waters. Their native range is far to the south of Alpena. Therefore, targeting spotted bass in the Alpena area is not a viable fishing option. Anglers interested in bass fishing near Alpena should focus on largemouth or smallmouth bass, which are more commonly found in the region's lakes and rivers. Researching the local waterways for these species will be far more productive. Consider Lake Thompson for largemouth bass or the James River for smallmouth. Make sure to consult the South Dakota Game, Fish & Parks regulations for size and bag limits on these species before planning your trip.
