Small mouth bass spot near Wilmington

Small mouth bass spot

A great little gem in southern Vermont. This body of water is a public water supply. The water is crystal clear, I could still see the bottom clearly at 12ft. The fish are spooky so use light gear and live bait.

Look for deep pools at bends or trees in the water. Kayak fishermen will have a better shot at the action.
