Holy smallmouth

Hi Folks, Guided a river yesterday afternoon with a mix variety of species.  Beautiful day with a frontal change taking place.  Pretty breezy with cooling air temperatures.  Really cooled down last night with air temps dropping into the 40's.  River levels are still high and the Lamoille yesterday afternoon was still pretty dirty.  The river we fished was up, but certainly clear.  We worked beetle spins and a floating perch rapala into the slower parts of pools and the tail outs.  Landed 15 smallmouth bass, two stocked rainbows, and several fall fish.  Two of the smallies were legitimate 2lb fish.  Loads of fun with these jumping and tugging fish.  Interesting  to note that the fishing in rivers is generally pretty good when the waters levels are dropping after a high water event.    I think the fish are hunkered down riding out the big water and are simply hungry when the water levels come back down.  Going to be a nice weekend and I am off to chase trout.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
