Smallmouth Bass

Summer is the prime time to target them, as the water warms and the bass become more active. Look for them around rocky points, submerged boulders, and current breaks. Crankbaits, tubes, and spinnerbaits are all effective lures. A local tactic is to drift the river in a raft or kayak, casting to likely holding spots. Be aware of changing water levels and swift currents, as the Yellowstone can be a challenging river to navigate.
