Old Town, Maine, provides a fantastic setting for chasing largemouth bass, with the Penobscot River and its connected waterways offering diverse fishing environments. The Stillwater Branch, a significant tributary, is particularly known for its bass fishing. Focus on areas with submerged timber, rocky outcroppings, and lily pads. Summer and early fall are ideal, when the bass are actively feeding. Consider using topwater lures early in the morning or late in the evening for explosive strikes. Spinnerbaits and crankbaits are also effective for covering water and locating active fish. A local tip: explore the areas around Indian Island; the complex structure there holds plenty of bass. Be mindful of the current in the Penobscot; it can be strong in places. The largemouth in this region tend to be scrappy fighters, making for an exciting angling experience.
