Smallmouth Bass
Smallmouth bass fishing near Mountain Village requires a bit of a trek, as the high-altitude environment isn't their ideal habitat. The best options are found in the lower-elevation portions of the San Miguel River or in larger reservoirs further downstream. Summer offers the most productive fishing, as the water temperatures are warmer and the smallmouth are more active. Focus on areas with rocky bottoms, current breaks, and deeper pools. Try using crankbaits, tubes, or small swimbaits to entice a strike. Accessing the San Miguel River can be challenging in some areas, so research access points beforehand. Be aware of private property and respect landowners' rights. Smallmouth in this region tend to be opportunistic feeders, so experiment with different lure presentations until you find what works. While you won't find trophy-sized fish here, catching smallmouth against the backdrop of the San Juan Mountains is a rewarding experience.
