Vermont Bass Fishing

On the hunt for bass.

Vermont seems to have meant new experiences for me. Not that I’m typically shy about that thing… and I kind of do have a track record of leaping into helicopters and US Forest Service rigs in various settings… but, per trend, the newness continues.

After getting a taste of bass fishing—striped bass fishing, that is—a few weeks ago, I knew I liked bass. So when the call came through Friday night after work from fellow Orvis-ites Chrissy and Tyler asking if I wanted to smallmouth fishing, I immediately asked when and where.

Tyler had borrowed a sled and motor from another member of the Orvis gang, and we headed up to Somerset Reservoir right here in Vermont. It was breezy, but we rigged up white streamers and went to it.

Long story short, a pretty fun day with a plethora of smallmouth bass and good friends.

Here’s to a long summer of bent rods.

Chrissy hooked up on the first fish of the day.

Spring days in Vermont. Nothing beats a day on the water... any water.
