Smallmouth Bass
Smallmouth bass in the Silt, Colorado area are primarily found in the Colorado River. While not as abundant as in some other regions, the smallies here can offer a rewarding challenge for anglers. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring to early fall, when the water temperatures are more favorable. Look for rocky areas, drop-offs, and submerged structure where smallmouth like to ambush prey. One local tip is to focus on areas where the Roaring Fork River joins the Colorado River, as the confluence often holds fish. Consider using crankbaits, tubes, or small swimbaits to entice strikes. Be aware of fluctuating water levels due to irrigation demands, which can impact fishing conditions. Access to the river is available at several points along Highway 6 and through BLM land, but be sure to check local regulations and respect private property.
