Largemouth Bass
While Woodstock, Vermont, isn't typically the first place that comes to mind for largemouth bass, the Ottauquechee River and nearby lakes offer some surprisingly good fishing. These Vermont bass might not reach the trophy sizes of southern fisheries, but they are scrappy and plentiful. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Focus on areas with submerged timber, rocky outcroppings, and weed lines. Ottauquechee River Park provides easy access to the river. A local favorite tactic is using weedless soft plastics or crankbaits to navigate the often-thick vegetation. Be aware that water levels in the Ottauquechee can fluctuate, so check conditions before heading out. The bass population is generally healthy, and you can expect to find a mix of sizes, with the occasional fish exceeding five pounds.
