Small mouth bass spot near Searsburg

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.

Off of Rt. 30 . pass the main park entrnce , go past the diner on the left a Hidden drive takes you to this location. there is a series of yellow gates hopefully they are all open or you will have to park and hike. keep going till the road stops or you find a channel.

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