River flowing 2000+ cfs. Water clear, wind light and variable. Fish were chewing in pre-cold front conditions. Smallmouth were stuffed with shad and chasing small minnows up and down the river. Caught fish on zoom super flukes, bullshads, baby bullshads, hunt house rats. Great day of fishing.

Cloudy, cool. High temp of 60*. Wind WNW with gusts up to 20 mph made kayak fishing the river difficult. We found a big school of smallmouth on a shoal mid river. Fishing were busting and chasing small shad about 1-2 inches long. 2.8 keitech on a 1/8 oz. head brought tons of fish to the boat.
