Largemouth Bass
For Vermont largemouth bass fishing, Derby Center offers access to some fantastic freshwater opportunities. While not necessarily known as a 'bass mecca', the local lakes and ponds hold some real surprises for anglers willing to explore. Lake Memphremagog, straddling the US-Canada border, is a prime target. Focus on weedlines, docks, and submerged structure, particularly in the northern sections of the lake closer to Derby Center. Summer is peak season, with the bass actively feeding in the warmer water. Spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and soft plastics are all effective. A local tip: pay attention to the mayfly hatches. When they're on, bass will often key in on these insects, and matching the hatch with your presentation can lead to some explosive topwater action. Public access is available at several points around Lake Memphremagog, though boat ramps can get busy on weekends. The largemouth in this area tend to be robust and aggressive, making for an exciting fishing experience.
