Fish spawning creek areas and shore line eddies. I have caught them on tubes, neds, crankbaits, spinnerbaits, jerkbaits and chatterbaits. But chatterbaits have been working good. They are also near and around large grass beds on the river. The water was brownish green 2 days ago. Water temps are in the low 60’s.

The water is holding steady in the high 40’s low 50’s. Focus on shoreline and middle river eddies. Fish the inside of the eddy and the current seams on the eddies. You will find smallmouth in slow moving current as well.

Fishing has been excellent in March. The water has been at a great level and the water temperatures have been in the mid 40's. Jerkbaits, tubes and ned rigs have been the go to. The smallmouth are being caught in current seams, slow moving current and eddies on the shoreline and in mid river.

The water on the river is in the low 40’s. We have above average water levels with stained water. We have been fishing soft plastic baits in middle river eddies and shoreline eddies.

So far since the start of January 2022 we have had extremely cold temperatures in the Mid-Atlantic Region. This coming week of February 6th, I will start booking trips. Cold water means fish slow. I have been using tubes and suspending jerkbaits to catch smallmouth and largemouth bass. Look for pools of water on the river. Any area on the river that has still water could hold fish.

The water is low and clear. Try the middle of the river with areas that have structure.
