Seasonal Activity Chart
Spotted Bass
Spotted bass fishing near Vicco centers around the North Fork Kentucky River. This river offers classic spotted bass habitat: rocky runs, riffles, and deeper pools. Spring and fall are typically the most productive times. During the spring, target pre-spawn bass staging near spawning areas with crankbaits and spinnerbaits. In the fall, focus on areas with abundant baitfish. Jigs and soft plastics can also be effective throughout the year. Access to the river is available at several bridge crossings and public access points, but be prepared for some walking and wading. The spotted bass here are known for their aggressive strikes and hard fighting ability. Be aware of the river's current and water levels, as these can change rapidly. Local anglers often have success using crayfish-imitating lures fished along the bottom. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and creel limits.
