Weather been a little up and down here with more rain mixed in than most mid summers here. Heat is back now and has been ideal for our river Smallmouth Bass! Real good bite of late strippin streamers and on top water flies. Baitfish have produced and our Rattlin Murdich Minnow has been excellent. Also sculpin/goby, crayfish, minnow patterns have been producing. Topwater poppers have produced well during low light periods and it all starts in the evening hour. Here some pics from this week.
Topwater should keep getting better now as moon phase is getting brighter and summer heat is here. Many Smallmouth like to feed just like Brown Trout – as it’s getting dark.
