Largemouth Bass
While Aspen isn't typically the first place that comes to mind for largemouth bass fishing, a few nearby reservoirs and ponds offer surprisingly good opportunities. Head a bit outside of Aspen itself, towards Ruedi Reservoir or some of the smaller, lesser-known ponds dotting the landscape in the Roaring Fork Valley. These waters, though cooler than typical bass habitats, can hold some decent-sized fish that have adapted to the conditions. Summer is definitely the prime time, as the water warms up enough to make the bass more active. Early morning and late evening are your best bets to avoid the midday sun and heat. A local tip: focus on areas with submerged structure like fallen trees or rocky outcroppings – these provide cover and ambush points for the bass. Be aware that water levels in Ruedi can fluctuate depending on irrigation demands, so check conditions before you head out. Also, remember that you'll need a valid Colorado fishing license.
