Largemouth Bass
While Dillon, Montana, isn't typically the first place that comes to mind for largemouth bass, anglers willing to explore the area's smaller reservoirs and ponds can find surprisingly good fishing. Look to the Beaverhead River's slower-moving sections and connected sloughs, as well as smaller, warmer water bodies scattered throughout the valley. These areas, often overlooked, can hold decent populations of bass. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are your best bet, as the bass become more active in the warmer water. Focus your efforts in areas with submerged vegetation or woody structure, as these provide cover and ambush points for the fish. A local tip: many of these smaller waters are best accessed by foot, so be prepared for some walking. Also, be mindful of private property and always obtain permission before fishing on private land. The bass here may not be trophy-sized, but the solitude and the chance to catch a bass in an unexpected location make it a rewarding experience.
