Largemouth Bass
Bangor, Maine, might be better known for its salmon and trout, but it also provides surprisingly good largemouth bass fishing. The Penobscot River watershed, including nearby ponds and lakes like Pushaw Lake and Kenduskeag Stream, offers excellent habitat for these fish. What makes Bangor unique is the mix of classic north-woods scenery with accessible fishing. The best time to target largemouth in Bangor is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. The post-spawn period in June can be particularly productive. Focus on areas with lily pads, submerged timber, and rocky shorelines. Plastic worms, jigs, and spinnerbaits are all effective lures. A local tip is to fish the shallower, weedy areas early in the morning or late in the evening when bass are actively feeding. Public access to many of these waterways is available, but be prepared for some rocky shorelines and potential for wading. Check local regulations for specific lake restrictions and any potential invasive species concerns.
