Largemouth Bass
While Joliet, Montana, is a smaller town, it’s surrounded by some decent largemouth bass fishing opportunities if you know where to look. Focus your efforts on smaller, less-pressured ponds and reservoirs in the area, and the Yellowstone River where conditions allow. These smaller waters can hold surprisingly good numbers of bass. The best time to fish is during the warmer months, with spring and early summer being particularly productive as the bass are spawning. Look for shallow, weedy areas and submerged structure. A practical tip for Joliet: many of these smaller waters are privately owned, so always obtain permission before fishing. Also, be aware of irrigation ditches and canals, as bass often use them as travel corridors. Small crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and plastic worms are effective lure choices. The bass in these smaller waters tend to be opportunistic feeders, so experiment with different presentations to find what works best on any given day.
