Best Fishing Spots: Rocky Mountain West
Best Fishing Spots: Rocky Mountain West
Oklahoma - Broken Bow Lake
Though the prime time for bass fishing on Broken Bow is March through May, June might offer your best shot at a truly big largemouth. Fish at night between the quarter and full moon phases, when the big postspawn females cruise for food. Broken Bow is deep and clear, and the topwater fishing can be excellent. It's also a very good producer of walleyes. Broken Bow Lake Guide Service, 580-494-6447; brokenbowlakeguide.com
Guide's Tips
Species: Largemouth Bass
Guide: Bryce Archey, Broken Bow Lake Guide Service, 580-494-6447
Rig Specifics: Falcon 6-foot 10-inch baitcasting rod, Shimano Curado baitcast reel, Carolina rig
Quick Tip: Because Broken Bow is such a clear lake, go with light line whenever you can. Also, fish early in the morning or right before dusk for best results.
Where to Fish: The south-southeast part of the lake, particularly Egypt Creek and Wafford Creek areas.

I know I've been working overseas for a few years now, but I have really been gone so long that I don't remember U.S. geography correctly. I nearly choked when I saw KANSAS included in your Rocky Mountain West "Best Fishing Spots!" At what point did they move the entire state far enough to include ANY PART of the Rockies???
AND North Dakota? Who categorizes this stuff?!?! There are NO MOUNTAINS in North Dakota... TRUST ME, I've been there and it's the most scenically bereft place I think I've ever been. Even if you're going there to fish, it's ranks near the bottom for visual impact!
