Largemouth Bass

Mill Hall, PA, nestled in Clinton County, provides access to some excellent Largemouth Bass fishing opportunities. The Susquehanna River's West Branch is a key waterway, offering a mix of shallow, weedy areas and deeper pools that hold bass. Anglers should also explore nearby lakes and reservoirs for even more options. The best time to target largemouth here is during the spring spawning season and again in the fall as they feed aggressively before winter. Topwater lures, spinnerbaits, and soft plastics are all effective, depending on the time of year and water conditions. Focus on structure such as submerged timber, docks, and rock piles. Public access to the West Branch is available at several points along its course, but a boat or kayak will allow you to reach more productive areas. Be aware of the river's current and potential hazards. Local insight: the bass in this area can be pressured, so experiment with different retrieves and lure presentations to find what they're biting on.
