Seasonal Activity Chart
Largemouth Bass
Largemouth bass fishing near Philipsburg, Montana, centers around a few smaller reservoirs and ponds in the surrounding area. While not a trophy bass destination, these waters offer enjoyable fishing, especially during the warmer months. The best time to target largemouth is during the summer (June-August) when the water temperatures are highest and the fish are most active. Look for weed beds, docks, and submerged structure. Plastic worms and crankbaits are popular choices. A local tip is to try fishing during the early morning or late evening hours, as the bass tend to be more active during these times. Be aware that some of these smaller lakes can experience significant weed growth, so be prepared to fish weedless rigs. Check local regulations for any specific restrictions on these smaller water bodies.
