Hi Folks, Did a little river fish guiding yesterday afternoon for smallmouth bass. The river levels are now low and the extremely clear. All about to change with the 1" of rain expected to drop from the skies over the next 24 hours. Been kind of dry, so the rain is a welcomed event. River temperature was 73 degrees and it was an afternoon of mixed clouds and sun. We hooked and caught fish in every piece of water we fished. Dead drifting 3" baby bass Senkos worked really well. You could spot a smallmouth and cast up stream of it and watch the fish move to the rubber. We landed over a dozen feisty river bass and missed or lost as many. When we fished in the sun, it was interesting to watch the fish move from out of cover (under wood or rock) to eat. Also, had a few large fish deny us as well. My take is that they had been hooked before and not really keen on eating in the bright sun. Taking the day off from fishing and will be back at tomorrow for the rest of the week. Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home. Have Fun, Willy
