Largemouth Bass
Lewiston, Maine, offers some surprisingly good largemouth bass fishing, especially in the Androscoggin River and its connected ponds. While the river itself can have strong currents, the backwaters and coves hold plenty of structure where bass lie in wait. Sabattus Pond, just a short drive from Lewiston, is another excellent option known for its healthy bass population and weed-choked shallows. The best time to target largemouth here is from late spring through early fall, as the water warms and the fish become more active. Look for spawning activity in May and June. A local tip: Focus on areas with lily pads and submerged timber. Plastic worms and topwater frogs are consistently effective. Be aware that water levels in the Androscoggin can fluctuate, so check conditions before you go. The bass in this area tend to be aggressive, likely due to the river's fluctuating conditions, so don't be afraid to use reaction baits.
