§ 04Field notesVermont

Where it is

Lake Dunmore sits in Addison County, Vermont, covering about 1,040 acres. Season and conditions decide the productive water; the map is the starting point.

Seasonal pattern

Spring. Warming water pulls largemouth toward shallow, protected areas where they stage and spawn; the quickest-warming pockets lead.

Summer. Heat pushes fish off the shallows toward depth and shade; work the cooler ends of the day.

Fall. As water cools, forage and bass return toward shallower water; movement is wide, so covering water pays.

Winter. Cold water settles fish deep and slow; patience and a subtle presentation are the more dependable choice.

Key structure

  • Creek and cove mouths that funnel fish and bait
  • Weed edges and the clean lines along them
  • Inside turns where a bank changes angle
  • Submerged wood, brush, and laydown cover

The calendar decides which of these is worth time on a given day.

Forage

The bait on Lake Dunmore runs to small panfish and shad-class baitfish; bass set up where those schools move.

Access

Public launches surround Lake Dunmore; check seasonal closures, water levels, and weather before a trip.

Regulations

Check current state and local regulations before fishing; limits and seasons can change.
