Smallmouth Bass
Smallmouth bass fishing near Englewood, Colorado, requires a bit of a drive to find suitable habitat. While not abundant in the immediate vicinity, certain sections of the South Platte River and some of the larger reservoirs hold populations of smallmouth. Consider exploring areas of the South Platte downstream from Denver. Rocky areas and submerged structure are key. Spring and fall are generally the most productive times, as the water temperatures are more favorable. Crawfish-imitation lures, tubes, and crankbaits are effective. A local tip: Access to the South Platte can be tricky in some areas, so scout out access points carefully. Also, be aware of fluctuating water levels, which can impact fishing success. Smallmouth bass in this region tend to be smaller than those found in other parts of the country, but they are still a challenging and rewarding target.
