Smallmouth Bass
Searching for Smallmouth Bass around Marble, Colorado? You'll need to venture a bit further afield. While the immediate Marble area is better known for trout, the lower reaches of the Roaring Fork River, closer to Glenwood Springs, offer more suitable habitat for smallmouth. These bronzebacks thrive in the warmer, rockier sections of the river. Summer and early fall are the prime times to target them, as the water temperatures are more favorable. Look for smallmouth around rocky points, ledges, and deeper pools. Crayfish imitations, tubes, and crankbaits are all effective lures. Wading is a popular way to fish the Roaring Fork, but be aware of strong currents and slippery rocks. There are several public access points along the river, but it's always a good idea to consult a local map to identify them. Be prepared for a bit of a drive from Marble, but the chance to tangle with some feisty smallmouth bass is well worth it.
