Seasonal Activity Chart
Largemouth Bass
While East Helena isn't typically known as a largemouth bass mecca, the area's smaller lakes and ponds can offer surprisingly good fishing. These often-overlooked waters warm up quickly in the spring, creating ideal conditions for bass to spawn and actively feed. Look to lakes such as Clancy Reservoir or smaller, unnamed ponds in the surrounding area. The best time to target largemouth here is late spring through early summer, and again in the early fall as water temperatures cool. A key to success is focusing on structure. Look for submerged vegetation, fallen trees, or rocky outcroppings, as these provide cover for bass. A local tip: many of these smaller waters are best fished from a kayak or canoe, as shoreline access can be limited. Also, be aware of private property boundaries and respect landowners' rights.
