First bass trip of the year. I thought with the drought we are experiencing that things would be a little tough…not so!
Ten to fifteen years ago I could come to this river and catch 20 fish without moving more than 1 or 2 yards. Things changed over the years and you would have to move around to find any numbers. This day (Friday) yielded between 90 to 100.
I must admit that I am a bit jealous of you for having access to such good smallmouth fishing. We have great LM fishing here in the south, but I sure miss the tail walking excitement of catching smallies in a river when I live in the north country. Very fun fish to catch.

Those are some nice small mouths, bet they put up a good fight
Just to clarify … I had to drive to three different areas on the river to catch as many fish as I did this day. They didn’t all come from the one spot.
Happy Canada and Bass Day.
Very nice. I wouldn’t mind driving 3-4 times a day to find fish like that.
