Largemouth Bass
If you're looking for Largemouth Bass in northeast Montana, Bainville offers some under-the-radar opportunities. The Fort Peck Reservoir, while a bit of a drive, is your best bet for consistent action. Smaller, local reservoirs and ponds closer to Bainville can also hold bass, but require more exploration and local intel. Spring (May-June) is prime time as the bass move shallow to spawn. Fish weed lines and submerged structure with spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and Texas-rigged worms. As the water warms in summer, move to deeper water near drop-offs and points. A practical tip: scout out access points to Fort Peck ahead of time, as some are more developed than others. Also, be prepared for wind – it can pick up quickly on the open water. The bass in this region tend to be opportunistic feeders, so don't be afraid to experiment with different presentations.
