Smallmouth Bass
Micropterus dolomieui
Summary: A recent introduction to Colorado (1951), smallmouth have been stocked in warmwater impoundments throughout Colorado. Spawning activities are similar to largemouth, but nests tend to be more elaborate and water temperatures slightly lower. Males prefer gravel or sand for nest building, although other materials may be utilized. Favorite baits are minnows, crayfish, surface and underwater lures, poppers and flies fished around brush, weeds and underwater structures in early morning and evening. Status: Warm Water Game Fish
