Largemouth Bass
While Sheridan, Montana, is more renowned for its trout streams, determined anglers can find Largemouth Bass opportunities in the surrounding area. Focus your efforts on the sloughs and backwaters connected to the Ruby River, as well as some of the smaller, private ponds (with permission, of course!). These warmer, stiller waters provide the ideal habitat for bass. Summer is prime time, when the water temperatures climb, and the bass become more active, especially during the early morning and late evening hours. Local tip: Look for structure like submerged logs or weed beds, as these are prime ambush points for bass. Also, be mindful of water levels in the Ruby River, as high water can affect the bass habitat in the connected sloughs. The bass population here isn't huge, so practice catch and release to help maintain the fishery.
