Smallmouth Bass
Smallmouth bass fishing near Garden City, Colorado, centers around the South Platte River. While not as abundant as in some other regions, the South Platte does hold a population of smallmouth that can provide some exciting fishing. Late spring through early fall is the most productive time to target them. Smallmouth in rivers favor rocky areas, current breaks, and deeper pools. Wading the river and casting upstream with crankbaits, tubes, or small swimbaits can be very effective. Fly fishing with streamers is also a popular technique. A good access point is the various bridges and parks along the river. Be sure to check water levels and flow rates before you go, as high water can make wading difficult and reduce visibility. The smallmouth here tend to be scrappy fighters, often exceeding expectations for their size. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain the population.
