Smallmouth Bass
While Burlington, Colorado isn't exactly known as a smallmouth bass mecca, determined anglers can find some decent action in the area's limited freshwater resources. Focus your efforts on the few reservoirs and larger ponds in Kit Carson County. These can hold surprisingly good populations of smallies. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, when the water temperatures rise. Look for rocky points, submerged structure, and weed edges – these are prime ambush points for smallmouth. A practical tip: water levels can fluctuate significantly, so check conditions beforehand. Also, be prepared for some wind, as the plains can get quite breezy. While you won't find trophy-sized fish consistently, the smallmouth in this area are known for their feisty attitude and willingness to strike a variety of lures, from crankbaits to tubes.
