Largemouth Bass
If you're looking for largemouth bass in the Johnson, Vermont area, you'll want to focus your efforts on the Lamoille River and its associated backwaters and ponds. While not known as a trophy bass fishery, the Lamoille offers consistent action and a scenic Vermont backdrop. The best time to target bass here is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Look for them around submerged structure, weed beds, and fallen trees, especially during the early morning and late evening hours. A local tip: Access to the river can be limited in some areas, so scout out potential access points beforehand. The Route 100 corridor provides some public access, but be mindful of private property. Also, be aware that water levels can fluctuate, especially after heavy rains, so check conditions before heading out.
