Smallmouth Bass
If you're chasing smallmouth bass in northeastern Colorado, the waters around Eckley offer some surprisingly good opportunities. While not known as a smallie mecca, local reservoirs and ponds – often smaller and less pressured than larger lakes – hold some feisty fish. Spring and fall are prime times. As the water warms in spring, smallmouth become more active, staging near rocky points and submerged structure. Autumn sees them feeding heavily before winter. A local tip: pay attention to wind direction. A consistent wind can stack baitfish and smallmouth on the windward side of smaller reservoirs. Also, access can be tricky on some private land, so be sure to check regulations and obtain permission where necessary. The smallmouth here might not be trophy-sized, but their aggressive strikes in these intimate settings make for exciting fishing.
