Largemouth Bass
For largemouth bass near Fort Collins, Colorado, your best bet is exploring the reservoirs and ponds scattered around the area. Boyd Lake and Lon Hagler Reservoir are popular choices, but smaller, lesser-known ponds can hold some real surprises. Largemouth activity peaks in the spring and fall, when water temperatures are moderate. Focus on areas with vegetation, docks, or other structure that provide cover for ambush predators. A local's secret: early morning and late evening are often the most productive times, especially during the summer months. Be mindful of the intense sun at this altitude; wear appropriate clothing and sunscreen. The largemouth here aren't generally giants, but they can be aggressive, particularly when defending their territory. Experiment with different lures and retrieves to find what they're hitting on any given day.
