Largemouth Bass are common along the shoreline and in shallow weedy bays. Lake Nipissing is about as far north as the Largemouth Bass' range reaches. With this in mind, Largemouth Bass do not get big like they do down in the southern states due to the shorter growing season but you can still catch them in the 1 to 4-pound Range. There have been 7 and 8-pound bass caught by our guests but they are very rare.

Largemouth Bass do not feed as aggressively as they do down south so the traditional large spinner baits are not as effective as smaller lures such as Thunder Sticks and small Rapalas. Rubbers do work so a traditional Texas rig or Carolina Rig will catch bass. Live minnows, worms and leaches are the best for Largemouth Bass on our lake.
