Largemouth Bass
Looking for Largemouth Bass near Vergennes, Vermont? Otter Creek, which flows into Lake Champlain, is your best bet. This winding waterway offers diverse habitat, from shallow, weedy flats to deeper channels, all holding bass. The bass fishing here really heats up in the late spring and early summer, as the fish move into the shallows to spawn. Topwater lures, spinnerbaits, and soft plastics are all effective choices. For a practical tip, try launching from the Vergennes City Dock and exploring the creek both upstream and downstream. Be aware of the current, especially after heavy rains. The bass in Otter Creek are known for their aggressive strikes, and you might even hook into a few bonus pike while you're at it. Pay attention to the water clarity, as this can influence lure selection. Polarized sunglasses are a must for spotting fish and structure.
