Largemouth Bass
While Ouray, Colorado, isn't exactly known as a largemouth bass mecca due to its high-altitude, mountainous terrain, dedicated anglers can still find opportunities. Your best bet is to head to lower-elevation reservoirs within a reasonable driving distance of Ouray. Ridgway Reservoir, about 30 minutes north, is a popular option and offers decent bass fishing. Spring and early summer, as the water warms up, are prime times. Target shallow, weedy areas and submerged structure with spinnerbaits, crankbaits, or soft plastics. Remember that the growing season is shorter at this altitude, so the bass might not reach the same sizes as in warmer climates. A key tip: check water levels before you go, as they can fluctuate significantly depending on snowmelt and irrigation demands. Also, be prepared for rapidly changing weather conditions in the mountains – pack layers!
