Jesse,

Just some food for you to chew on.....2 weeks ago the air temperature here was around 45 degrees and the water temperature was around the upper 40's low 50's. I was around 800 yards below the generation dam and caught 7 trout and one Kentucky Bass! Don't ever think that there cannot be bass in cold water. They will be very sluggish, but, put the fly in front of them and they will eat. Are there any smallmouth bass in this river anywhere? They do like cold water and will spawn when the water temperature is in the low 60's. The next trip you make to this spot, try using some larger flies like a weighted olive bugger in size 6 or 8 in the larger eddy. You just might get surprised what is in there.
