Largemouth Bass
Presque Isle might be better known for its potatoes, but it also offers surprisingly good largemouth bass fishing. Several smaller lakes and ponds dot the landscape around Presque Isle, providing ideal habitat for largemouth. Echo Lake and Arnold Brook Lake are two options worth exploring. Look for structure like lily pads, submerged vegetation, and fallen trees. Summer is the peak season, with the bass actively feeding in the warmer water. Early morning and late evening are typically the most productive times. Topwater lures, such as frogs and buzzbaits, can be incredibly effective in the thick vegetation. Spinnerbaits and crankbaits are also good choices for covering water. A local tip: check out the smaller, less-pressured ponds that are often overlooked. The bass in this region might not be trophy-sized, but the solitude and consistent action make for a rewarding fishing experience.
