• Where to Fish on Little Bass Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Open biodiversity records for Beltrami County list walleye, yellow perch and northern pike. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Read Little Bass Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. For a change of water, Big Bass Lake is 1.4 miles distant. Confirm access to Little Bass Lake locally before you travel.
