Hi Folks, Guided a hearty crew of spin anglers yesterday afternoon for smallmouth bass. Nice damp afternoon with pretty steady rain showers. Water temperature was 66 degrees and the clarity was pretty good. We focused on big slow pools as the water level is fairly low and the fish are not holding in any secondary spots. I can't say the fishing was red hot. We made a lot of casts for the half a dozen smallies we landed. The fish were tentative in feeding and they would pick up the Senko and drop it. Had to really wait on the fish we caught to eat the rubber. All very subtle takes and line control was imperative. Pretty interesting as I would say the fish were in non-aggressive mode for feeding. The largest bass of the day was not caught immediately as we probably cast to the area where it was holding for 20 minutes. Patience and persistence paid off. Will be chasing river trout later today with the fly. Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home. have fun, Willy
