Smallmouth Bass
Targeting Smallmouth Bass near Calhan, Colorado, presents a bit of a challenge, as there aren't many well-known smallmouth fisheries immediately nearby. Anglers looking for smallies will likely need to travel a bit. Consider exploring some of the smaller reservoirs or ponds further east or north, focusing on areas with rocky structure. While largemouth bass are more common in the immediate Calhan area, persistent anglers can sometimes find smallmouth bass in these less pressured environments. Spring and fall, when water temperatures are moderate, are generally the best times to fish for them. Try using crawdad imitations, tubes, and small crankbaits. A local tip: be prepared for varied water clarity. These smaller waters can be prone to fluctuations, so adjust your lure color and presentation accordingly. If the water is clear, use natural colors; if it's murky, opt for brighter hues.
