      Great day for topwater fishing. No Wind, foggy morning. Water was crystal clear. Long casts with a top water spook, walking the dog, produced some great smallmouth bass action.

      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.

      We found smallmouth in deep slow water which is where you would expect them this time of year but the bigger ones were still in the faster moving water plus above and below the shoals.

      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.

      Water temps have dropped 8 degrees in 10 days. The fish haven't moved out of the shoal areas into the deeperslower moving pools as of yet.Ned Rigs and shallow cranks got it done for us.
