Largemouth Bass
New Athens, Ohio, nestled in Harrison County, offers some solid largemouth bass fishing in its smaller lakes and reservoirs. Piedmont Lake is a popular choice, known for its healthy bass population and diverse structure. Expect to find largemouth relating to weed beds, submerged timber, and rocky points. Spring and fall are prime times, as bass are actively feeding during the spawn and pre-winter periods. Summer can be productive too, but you'll need to adjust your tactics for deeper, cooler water. Local tip: Try fishing the edges of weed lines with Texas-rigged worms or crankbaits. Piedmont Lake has multiple boat ramps, but be aware of horsepower restrictions. The bass in this region tend to be fairly pressured, so experiment with different presentations and don't be afraid to downsize your lures. Look for off-the-beaten-path smaller ponds and lakes in the area for less pressured fish.
