Mike,
nice to see that the river has still some smallies in it. If it is the same river than I think (I think I recognize the area of your pics), then I should pay another visit this August. I Loved fishing it a couple of years ago and managed to get a couple of about 18" smallies one evening. There were plenty of small fish (what it is always good) but then the river dried up last two summers. So it is nice to see good size fish in the river again.
