Largemouth Bass
Westminster, Vermont, offers several options for largemouth bass anglers, with the Connecticut River and its backwaters being the most prominent. While not a trophy bass fishery, it provides consistent action and some decent-sized fish. The key is to target areas with ample cover. Look for submerged vegetation, fallen trees, and rocky structures. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are the most productive. Bass tend to be more active in the warmer water, and the weeds provide excellent ambush points. A local's secret is to fish the smaller, less-pressured ponds and coves off the main river channel. These often hold surprisingly good numbers of bass. Access to the Connecticut River is available at several public boat launches and access points around Westminster. A small boat or kayak is ideal for navigating the river and reaching the best fishing spots. Remember to check Vermont fishing regulations before heading out.
