Largemouth Bass

For largemouth bass enthusiasts, Somerset, PA, offers several options to explore. Somerset Lake is a popular destination, known for its healthy bass population and relatively clear water. The lake features plenty of submerged structure, weed beds, and lily pads, providing ideal habitat for largemouth. Spring and fall are peak seasons, as bass are more active during these times.

Topwater lures, such as frogs and buzzbaits, can be effective in the weedy areas, while crankbaits and spinnerbaits work well along the edges of the lake. A local tip: Pay attention to the depth finders as there are many man made structure piles that hold bass. The largemouth in Somerset Lake tend to be on the smaller side, but there are still plenty of opportunities to catch quality fish.
