Crushed them

Hi folks, Man, yesterday was an awesome day of fishing.  I guided river smallmouth both in the morning and the evening.  Big weather from pushing through with cool air temperatures, afternoon showers, and wind.  Water temperature was 65 degrees.  Definitely feels like fall out there as things have really cooled off.  Water levels are perfect for fishing right now, though the clarity diminished a bit around dusk from rain in the mountains that dirtied things up. Both of my trips were with spin gear and we put the Senkos and light tackle to test.  Between my two trips yesterday we landed over 50 smallmouth bass. The fish were there for the taking and I think we were fishing water that has not been harassed by any other anglers.  We found bass in the slow sections of the river, big slow deep pools, and big eddies.  Lots of downed wood and rocks provided cover for the bass.  We drifted 3" crawfish and olive colored Senkos and the fish were gobbling them up.  In the afternoon my client hooked a fish on his first 12 casts.  We caught smallmouth from 6" to 18". Saw a lot of good sized fish yesterday and everyone wanted to jump and tail walk.  I think it was a product of the cooling water temperatures.  Reminded me of fall bass fishing.  Fishing should remain steady.  Seen a few #14/#22 flying ants, #22 tricos in the morning, and the ever present caddis.  We did catch a 13" rainbow yesterday on a Senko.  Not the norm.  There were some rising fish both in the morning and afternoon.  I am off to trout fish this morning.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
