There's a new "Smallies fishery" that's recently been discovered, near the Portland, Ore. area. A few guys have taken 17"-19" and one 21" Smallie already, so I'm anxious to see how it works out and if this new area lives up to its current standings for how long.
I'll know, more, in about a month when I get a chance to fish it.
As I undertand it, there's lots of great smallie water out West that's overlooked. I've been told it's much like our trout rivers here in the South. Most people don't realize they turn into smallie rivers in the lower reaches where the water is too warm for trout. Sounds like you've found one. Looking forward to the reports.
