Smallmouth Bass
Smallmouth bass in Kit Carson, Colorado? It's a less common target here compared to other parts of the state, but don't count it out. Several of the smaller reservoirs and ponds in the area, often overlooked, can hold decent populations of smallmouth. The key is finding structure – rocky points, submerged timber, or weed edges. These fish are highly adaptable. Spring, during the pre-spawn and spawn, is typically the most productive time. Look for warmer water temperatures in shallow bays. Fall can also be good as smallmouth aggressively feed before winter. A local tip: Because these are smaller bodies of water, stealth is crucial. Approach your fishing spots quietly and use longer casts to avoid spooking the fish. Light tackle with crankbaits or tube jigs can be effective. While not a destination fishery for smallmouth, Kit Carson offers a chance to catch them in a unique and less-pressured environment.
