Largemouth Bass
Largemouth bass fishing near Darby, Montana, might not be what you expect from Big Sky Country, but several smaller lakes and ponds in the Bitterroot Valley offer surprisingly good opportunities. While trout dominate the headlines, these waters hold decent populations of largemouth. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Como Lake, south of Darby, is a popular option with boat access and a reputation for producing some larger bass. Focus on weed lines, submerged structure, and shallow bays, especially during the spawning season. A local tip: Montana's weather can be unpredictable, so be prepared for changing conditions. Also, consider using weedless lures, as many of these lakes have heavy vegetation. The largemouth in this region tend to be opportunistic feeders, so experiment with different lure types and presentations to find what works best on any given day.
