Largemouth Bass

Ypsilanti offers some surprisingly good largemouth bass fishing, largely thanks to its proximity to the Huron River and several connected lakes and ponds. The Huron, in particular, is a winding river with plenty of structure – fallen trees, weed beds, and rocky outcroppings – that bass love to call home.
