Smallmouth Bass
Smallmouth bass fishing around Eureka, Montana, centers primarily on Lake Koocanusa. While not as abundant as some other species in the lake, the smallmouth population offers a challenging and rewarding fishing experience. Target rocky shorelines, points, and submerged structure, especially near the dam and in the southern portions of the lake. Spring and early summer, after the ice melts and the water begins to warm, is typically the best time. As the water warms further into summer, focus on deeper structure. Consider using crankbaits, tubes, and jigs in crawfish patterns. Be aware that Koocanusa is a large reservoir, and wind can pick up quickly, so check the weather forecast before heading out. Access is available via several boat launches along the lake, including those at Rexford and Libby Dam.
