Largemouth Bass
Keene, New Hampshire, offers several excellent locations to target largemouth bass. Spofford Lake is a popular choice, known for its clear water and healthy bass population. Another option is the Ashuelot River, which has slower-moving sections that hold good numbers of bass. Summer is the peak season for bass fishing here, with topwater lures working well in the early morning and evening. During the day, try fishing deeper with jigs or Texas-rigged worms around submerged structure. A local tip is to focus on areas with lily pads or other vegetation, as bass often ambush prey from these locations. Access to Spofford Lake is available through public boat ramps, but parking can be limited during peak season. The bass in this area are generally healthy and average 2-4 pounds, with larger specimens possible.
