Smallmouth Bass
While largemouth bass tend to dominate the still waters near Parker, Colorado, determined anglers can find smallmouth bass in a few select locations. Cherry Creek Reservoir, located just north of Parker, is one of the more reliable spots to target smallmouth, particularly along its rocky dam face and riprap shorelines. The best time to fish for smallmouth here is typically from late spring through fall, when the water temperatures are warmer. Focus on rocky areas and submerged structure, using techniques like drop-shotting, Carolina rigging, and crankbait fishing. Smallmouth in Cherry Creek Reservoir tend to relate to structure, so pay close attention to your electronics to locate submerged rocks, humps, and drop-offs. A local tip is to fish during periods of low light, such as early morning or late evening, as this is when smallmouth are often more active. Also, be aware of the wind, as it can concentrate baitfish and smallmouth on windward shorelines. The smallmouth in this reservoir are known for being scrappy fighters, providing an enjoyable challenge for anglers.
