Largemouth Bass
Largemouth bass fishing around Sidney, Montana, might not be the first thing that comes to mind, but the area holds some surprisingly good opportunities in the smaller lakes, ponds, and backwaters associated with the Yellowstone River. These warmer, shallower waters provide the ideal habitat for bass to thrive. The best time to target them is during the late spring spawning season and into the early summer when they are most active. Focus on areas with submerged vegetation, docks, and other structure that provide cover. A key local tip is to explore the numerous irrigation canals and ditches in the area; some of these hold decent-sized bass. Be aware that access to some of these areas may be restricted, so always respect private property. The bass population here consists of a mix of sizes, but patient anglers can be rewarded with some memorable catches. Don't be afraid to experiment with different lure presentations, as these fish can be finicky.
