      Couldn’t believe we found bedding fish in June in a dirty water reservoir. Tournament day became very positive with fish holding beds later in the day.

      Fished from shore around a couple of the cannon river bridges. Mostly rock with a few down trees nearby. Used a small 3” Swimbait and caught several smallmouth and a largemouth as well. Good places for some shallow running crankbaits as well in brown/orange craw pattern.

      Targeting smallmouth bass on the river by kayak proved to be successful when using both topwater walking baits that mimic escaping baitfish as well as smaller-size inline spinners mimicking schooling baitfish. Bass tended to be found in groups where moving current met back-eddies in 2-5 feet of water as well as submerged timber and structure. The hot baits attached worked best and provided ample bites. Smallmouth of 1-3 pounds were common catches, with 4-5 pounders being possible. Large northern pike of roughly 24-30 inches were also caught; they were aggressive and chased after smallmouth that were hooked. The bite was best for smallmouth before noon, and picked up again around 4:00 pm.
