Smallmouth Bass
Smallmouth bass fishing near Broadview, Montana, primarily revolves around the Yellowstone River. While not as abundant as in some other regions, the Yellowstone does hold a population of smallmouth that can provide exciting angling. Focus your efforts on rocky areas, current breaks, and submerged structure. Summer is the best time to target smallmouth, especially during periods of stable water flow. Consider using crankbaits, tubes, and small swimbaits to entice strikes. A local tip is to wade fish the shallower sections of the river, focusing on areas with riffles and pools. Be sure to wear appropriate wading gear and be mindful of slippery rocks. Public access to the Yellowstone is available at several fishing access sites (FAS) in the area. Smallmouth in the Yellowstone can be scrappy fighters, so be prepared for a good battle. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain the population.
