Largemouth Bass
For Largemouth Bass near Plains, Montana, focus your efforts on the sloughs and backwaters connected to the Clark Fork River, as well as smaller ponds and reservoirs in the area. These warmer, shallower waters provide ideal habitat for bass to thrive. While not a trophy bass destination, you can find some quality fish, especially if you know where to look. The best time to target largemouth is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall (May-September). During the spawn in late spring, look for bass guarding their nests in shallow, protected areas. Topwater lures and soft plastics worked slowly can be deadly. As the water warms in summer, focus on fishing around weed beds and submerged structure. A local tip: try fishing early in the morning or late in the evening, when the bass are most active. Many of the ponds and sloughs are accessible from the road, but a small boat or kayak can help you reach more remote areas. Be aware of private property boundaries and always ask for permission before fishing on private land.
