Seasonal Activity Chart
Smallmouth Bass
Smallmouth bass fishing near Gillette is primarily centered around Keyhole Reservoir. While not as abundant as largemouth, smallmouth thrive in the rocky habitat and clear water of the lake. Target rocky points, submerged ledges, and riprap areas with crankbaits, tubes, and drop-shot rigs. The best time to target smallmouth is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Pay attention to water temperatures, as smallmouth tend to be more active in water between 60 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Access to Keyhole is available through Keyhole State Park, which provides boat ramps and shoreline access. A local tip: focus on areas with current or wind, as these areas tend to concentrate baitfish and draw in smallmouth. While trophy-sized smallmouth are rare, you can expect to find a healthy population of fish in the 1-3 pound range.
