Spectacular Fall Smallmouth Bite

Fall is a great time for the apex predator fish in lakes and rivers to eat more than usual. Some of biggest pike, largemouth, and even a rare large walleye come this time of year.

Warmwater nymphing remains the ticket right now during an otherwise challenging lake fishing week. There is no shortage of fish to be caught. These river fish are always high quality. A constant flow of food; mayflies, caddis, stoneflies, crawfish, minnows, etc has them chunky and far more ready for battle. Come try fly fishing for them! As a side note, the challenge of fly fishing for suckers is enticing. The Northern Hogsucker pictured here was 4.5” over the state minimum for a master angler award ?

Another great day nymphing on the river. Leech jig flies have been the ticket for bigger fish. Its going to stay good for a while! Book your trip and see what its all about!
