Largemouth Bass
While Alberton, Montana, isn't the first place that springs to mind for largemouth bass fishing, the Clark Fork River and its associated backwaters offer some surprisingly good opportunities. Focus your efforts on the slower-moving sections, especially areas with submerged vegetation or woody debris. These pockets hold warmer water and provide cover for bass. Early morning and late evening are prime times, particularly during the warmer months of June through August. A great access point is near the Alberton Gorge, where you can find some calmer areas off the main river channel. Be aware that the Clark Fork can experience fluctuating water levels, so check conditions before heading out. The bass here aren't giants, but they are aggressive and make for fun fishing on light tackle. Consider using weedless lures or topwater baits to navigate the cover effectively.
