Smallmouth Bass
Smallmouth bass fishing near Van Tassell is limited, as the landscape here isn't ideal for these river-dwelling fish. However, anglers willing to travel a bit can find some opportunities. The Niobrara River, while not particularly known for smallmouth, may hold a few fish in deeper pools and around rocky structure. The best time to target smallmouth is during the warmer months (late spring through early fall), when water temperatures are favorable. Small crankbaits and spinnerbaits can be effective in the Niobrara. Access to the river can be challenging in some areas, so be sure to do your research and obtain permission from landowners where necessary. Given the limited smallmouth habitat, don't expect to catch large numbers of fish. The smallmouth in this area are typically smaller, averaging less than a pound, but they can still provide some fun fishing.
