As for your catching!!! Who catches 47 Smallies in less than 3 hours? Anglers that fish the Susky! Haha! Great post and phenom action from a very close to home river! Big river systems kick ass. I love them all! Thanks for reporting dude! It's been a while!!!  |
I have seen it like this a bunch of times.. however, more often, you would SWEAR there wasn't a fish in the river. I'll never understand it... Up here, the river is really turbid starting in late may, even in good weather, and gets chocolate brown for a week or more with any kind of rain.. Lots of years its unfishable for weeks on end.. Also the river is choked with bait when the weather warms up.. Mayfly hatches every night that turn the ground white for a mile around the river, and the fish simply won't eat anything on a hook even crayfish or live Hellgrammites.. Maddening.. Then, late in the fall, the water cools down and starts clearing up, and in the rocky spots the SMB are stacked up like nothing i had ever seen.. Honestly a good fisherman that starts at daybreak, and fishes a day could catch over 100 bass, all good size too. Its a strange fishery, but when its hot its on fire...
