Largemouth Bass
The Connecticut River, flowing near Holyoke, is the central draw for Largemouth Bass anglers in this region. The river's backwaters, coves, and connected ponds offer varied habitat for largemouth, from shallow weed beds to submerged timber. Spring and fall are generally the most productive seasons, as the bass move into shallower water to spawn in the spring and feed aggressively before winter. Try flipping jigs and soft plastics around heavy cover or working crankbaits along weed lines. A practical tip for fishing the Connecticut River near Holyoke is to utilize the boat ramp at Brunelle's Marina for easy access to the river. Be mindful of the current, especially after heavy rains, as it can significantly impact fish location and lure presentation. The largemouth here tend to be relatively healthy, but pressure can be high, so experiment with different presentations and fishing times to find what works best.
