Largemouth Bass
While Gunnison, Colorado, is renowned for its trout fishing, don't overlook the largemouth bass opportunities in some of the area's reservoirs and smaller lakes. Although the high-altitude environment isn't ideal for trophy bass, you can still find decent-sized fish. Head to lower elevation reservoirs west of Gunnison like Blue Mesa Reservoir or explore smaller, warmer lakes closer to town. Summer is prime time, as the water warms up enough to get the bass active. A local tip: focus on areas with submerged vegetation or rocky structure, as these provide cover for bass. Try using weedless lures like Texas-rigged worms or spinnerbaits. Be mindful of the altitude and the strong sun, and remember that largemouth bass fishing is a secondary pursuit here, so don't expect the same level of action as in warmer climates. However, the stunning scenery makes it a worthwhile experience.
