Smallmouth Bass
Smallmouth bass fishing near Elk Mountain, Wyoming, requires a bit of travel, but the rewards can be worthwhile. While not as prevalent as trout in the immediate vicinity, smallmouth can be found in the warmer, slower-moving sections of the North Platte River downstream from the mountain. Pathfinder Reservoir, further downstream, also holds a population of smallmouth bass. The best time to target these fish is during the summer months when the water temperatures are warmest. Look for rocky structure, drop-offs, and submerged timber. Crawfish-imitating crankbaits, tube jigs, and spinnerbaits are all effective lures. Local knowledge: The water levels on the North Platte can fluctuate significantly due to irrigation demands, so be sure to check the river flows before heading out. Also, be aware of private property boundaries along the river. Access can be limited in some areas, so research public access points beforehand.
