Smallmouth Bass
While not as prominent as trout, smallmouth bass can be found in the lower sections of the Eagle River near Avon, Colorado, as it warms up heading towards the Colorado River. These feisty fighters prefer warmer water and rocky habitats. The best time to target them is during the summer months, particularly from June through August. Look for them around rocky points, submerged boulders, and deeper pools. Small crankbaits, tubes, and jigs are effective lures. Access to the river is available at several points along Highway 6, but be prepared for some wading. Local tip: Focus your efforts during the early morning or late evening hours when the sun is lower and the bass are more active. The smallmouth in this area tend to be on the smaller side, but they make up for it with their aggressive strikes.
