Largemouth Bass
Old Bennington, Vermont, while known for its history, also offers some surprisingly good largemouth bass fishing. Lake Paran, just a short drive from town, is the primary bass fishery. This lake provides a mix of shallow, weedy areas and deeper, rocky structure, creating diverse habitat for bass. The best time to target largemouth here is during the pre-spawn in late spring (May-June) and again in the fall (September-October) as they fatten up for winter. Try fishing weedlines with spinnerbaits or soft plastics. For deeper structure, Carolina-rigged worms or crankbaits can be effective. A local tip: The boat launch on the lake's west side provides easy access, but it can get busy on weekends. Consider fishing early in the morning or on weekdays to avoid crowds. Lake Paran bass are known for being relatively aggressive, but can be pressured, so varying your presentation is key.
