Smallmouth Bass Fishing

An eager and thrilling species to target in our rivers, the Smallmouth Bass fights hard and is more than willing to take flys, jerk-baits, plastics, and topwaters! Smallmouth are a fantastic option for serious anglers looking to see a new way of targeting these fish, as well as complete beginners looking to learn the ins and outs of river fishing.  Season runs from mid May through early September. 

Smallmouth bass river fishing throughout the year provides several unique patterns that we target. Early season (mid May -  early June) produces the heaviest fish of the year, with chances at 6lb fish and plenty of sight-fishing opportunities available. Summer (mid June - September) is the most productive time of year for numbers of fish, with lots of topwater action and sight-fishing as well.
