If you're looking for largemouth bass near Woodmont, Connecticut, you're in luck. While Woodmont itself sits on the coast, several excellent freshwater bass fisheries are within a short drive. Lake Chamberlain in nearby Bethany is a popular choice, offering a good mix of shallow weedy areas and deeper water structure that largemouths love. Spring is an exceptional time to target bass during the pre-spawn and spawn, with fish congregating in the shallows. Summer can be productive as well, focusing on early mornings and late evenings. Consider using weedless soft plastics or topwater lures around the vegetation. A local tip: The boat launch at Lake Chamberlain can get crowded, especially on weekends, so arrive early. Also, be aware of any size or creel limits, which are strictly enforced. Another solid choice is Maltby Lakes, a series of smaller lakes offering more secluded fishing opportunities.
