Largemouth Bass
Vermont may be known for its trout, but the largemouth bass fishing around Barre can be surprisingly good, especially in the warmer months. The numerous small ponds and lakes scattered throughout the region offer excellent habitat for largemouth. These waters are often overlooked, providing a less pressured fishing experience. Summer is undoubtedly the peak season, as the water warms up and bass become more active. Focus on areas with lily pads, submerged vegetation, and fallen trees. Topwater lures like frogs and poppers can be incredibly exciting in the early morning and late evening. A local tip: Check out the smaller, less-known ponds accessible by dirt roads. These often hold some surprisingly large bass. Also, consider using weedless lures, as many of these waters have dense vegetation. The largemouth bass in this region tend to be opportunistic feeders, so experiment with different lure presentations to find what works best on any given day.
