Smallmouth Bass
Smallmouth bass fishing near North Troy, Vermont, centers around the Missisquoi River and nearby lakes. This region offers a classic northern smallmouth experience. The Missisquoi is known for its rocky stretches and clear water, perfect for wading or fishing from a canoe or kayak. Smallmouth action picks up in late spring after the spring runoff subsides and continues through the fall. Look for them around rocky points, current breaks, and submerged ledges. A local favorite is to use crayfish imitations or small crankbaits fished along the rocky banks. Access to the river can be found at several bridge crossings and designated access points, but be mindful of water levels, especially after heavy rains. The smallmouth here aren't necessarily giants, but they are plentiful and scrappy, providing exciting action for anglers of all skill levels.
