Largemouth Bass
If you're looking for Largemouth Bass in the Derby Line area, you'll want to focus your efforts on the local freshwater lakes and ponds, particularly those with plenty of vegetation and structure. Lake Memphremagog, which straddles the US-Canada border, is a prime spot. The Vermont side offers shallower, weedy bays ideal for largemouth. Spring and early summer, after the spawn, are typically the most productive times. Fish tend to be holding tight to cover as the water warms. A practical tip: focus on the western shore of Lake Memphremagog in the early mornings, casting weedless lures or topwater baits around lily pads and submerged vegetation. Be aware of the international border regulations if venturing onto the lake; having a valid fishing license for both Vermont and Quebec is essential if you plan to fish both sides.
