Smallmouth Bass
Smallmouth bass fishing near Winnemucca, Nevada, is an overlooked gem. While largemouth tend to get more attention, some of the local reservoirs and rivers hold populations of smallies that are scrappy and fun to catch. The high desert environment creates unique conditions, with fluctuating water levels and clear, rocky waters. Spring and fall are the best times to target smallmouth, as they become more active in cooler temperatures. Look for rocky points, drop-offs, and submerged boulders where smallmouth like to ambush prey. Tubes, crankbaits, and jerkbaits are all effective lures. Be prepared for some hiking and exploring to find the best spots, as access can be limited in some areas. Public access information may be sparse, so check local resources. The smallmouth in this area tend to be smaller than those found in other regions, but their willingness to bite and fight hard makes them a worthwhile target. Don't forget to bring plenty of water and sunscreen, as the Nevada sun can be intense.
