Largemouth Bass
If you're chasing largemouth bass near Montrose, Colorado, head to Ridgway Reservoir, about a 30-minute drive south. This stunning reservoir, backed by the San Juan Mountains, offers a decent largemouth fishery. While not known for huge numbers, Ridgway does hold some quality fish. Spring and fall are the most productive times, as the bass move shallow to spawn or feed before winter. Target the coves and weed edges with spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and soft plastics. The Uncompahgre River inlet can also be a hotspot. Bear Creek Reservoir, a smaller option closer to Montrose, can also provide largemouth action. Keep in mind Bear Creek can get weedy in the summer. A local tip: The water clarity in Ridgway is typically very good, so downsize your line and lures accordingly. There are good boat ramps available at Ridgway, but be aware of potential afternoon thunderstorms, especially in the summer months.
