The smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu), also known as bronzeback, brown bass, smallie, bronze bass, and bareback bass, is a freshwater species native to North America. It thrives in cool, clear streams, rivers, and lakes with rocky or gravel substrates, often favoring areas with moderate currents and abundant cover such as submerged logs and vegetation. This species is particularly prevalent in the Great Lakes region, the upper and middle Mississippi River basin, and the Saint Lawrence River system. Smallmouth bass are carnivorous, feeding on a diet of crayfish, insects, amphibians, and smaller fish, including the young of their own species. Their preference for clear, oxygen-rich waters makes them indicators of good water quality. Adult smallmouth bass typically range from 10 to 20 inches in length and weigh between 1 to 5.5 pounds, with some individuals reaching up to 27 inches and 12 pounds. They are known for their robust, elongated bodies with bronze to greenish-brown coloration and dark vertical bars along their sides. The species has been widely introduced beyond its native range, including in the Pacific Northwest, where it has established populations in various water bodies. In Washington State, for example, smallmouth bass can be found in lakes and rivers, contributing to the region's diverse freshwater ecosystems. Their adaptability and aggressive feeding behavior have made them a subject of ecological studies, particularly concerning their impact on native fish populations. Understanding the habitat preferences and ecological role of smallmouth bass is essential for effective fisheries management and conservation efforts. Their presence in diverse aquatic environments underscores the importance of maintaining healthy, unpolluted waterways to support both native and introduced fish species.​
