SMB are not a good indicator of warm water.. They hit aggressively in VERY cold water at times. They prefer water temps around I dunno, 55-60 maybe, but I have caught a lot of them on lures in 35 degree ice water when nothing else would bite. They hit lighter, fight a lot more sluggishly, and don't jump at all in cold water, but they do hit.. bob

I just know, that over the years at RVR, when I catch SMB's I don't catch trout. When I catch trout I don't catch SMB's. Reliably happens fall into winter, and winter into spring.
