Smallmouth Bass
Forsyth, Montana, offers some underrated Smallmouth Bass fishing opportunities in the Yellowstone River. This section of the river boasts rocky runs, riffles, and deep pools that smallmouth bass favor. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are ideal for targeting smallmouth. Focus your efforts on areas with current breaks, such as behind boulders or near submerged logs. A local tactic is to use crayfish-imitating lures, as these are a primary food source for smallmouth in the Yellowstone. Wading can be effective in some areas, but a boat provides access to more of the river. Be aware of changing water levels, which can affect fishing conditions. The smallmouth bass in this area are known for their hard fighting ability, making for an exciting angling experience. Respect the river and practice catch and release to help maintain the quality of this fishery.
