Smallmouth Bass
Smallmouth Bass fishing near New Castle, Colorado, can be quite rewarding, with the Colorado River being your primary target. The river offers excellent habitat for smallies, with rocky structure, riffles, and deeper pools. Focus your efforts on these areas, particularly where there's current. Summer and fall are generally the best times to target smallmouth, as the water temperatures are warmer and the fish are more active. Crankbaits, tubes, and topwater lures can all be effective. Wading is a popular way to fish the Colorado River, but be cautious of swift currents and slippery rocks. A good pair of wading boots with felt soles or cleats is essential. Look for access points along Highway 70 or county roads that parallel the river. The smallmouth in the Colorado River can be feisty fighters, and you might even hook into a surprise trout. Be sure to check the Colorado Parks and Wildlife regulations for specific rules and restrictions on the Colorado River.
