Largemouth Bass
St. Albans, Vermont, offers some excellent largemouth bass fishing, primarily centered around Lake Champlain. This sprawling lake provides diverse habitat, from shallow weedy bays to rocky points and submerged timber, all holding bass. The best time to target largemouth here is during the pre-spawn (late spring) and fall months when the bass are actively feeding. During the summer, focus on deeper weed lines and structure to find fish seeking cooler water. A local tip is to explore the bays and coves on the eastern side of Lake Champlain, like St. Albans Bay itself; these areas tend to warm up quicker in the spring and hold good populations of bass. Spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and Texas-rigged worms are all effective choices. There are several public boat launches around St. Albans Bay, providing easy access to the lake. Be aware of zebra mussels; they can impact fishing line and lure action.
