Smallmouth BassTechniqueNed RigsSeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructurePointsFantastic fishing today. Water visibility was around 3-5 ft. Fish were Not as skitterish and very active. This big girl here broke my PB at 5.15 lbs. Glorious beast who looked like she had been to war. Long Lake is on fire right now!

The recent rain and subsequent run-off has lowered the temperature of the water. Visibility however was fair, 6-7 ft, The Big bass were in ambush mode and most of the strikes I got were very aggressive. They were staging under overhangs in around 3'-4' next to a weed line or drop off. In General smaller bass were actively feeding and the fishing was fantastic. Long Lake is happening right now!

Water has cleared up quite a bit in the last few days. Visibility is 8-10 ft in areas where there are no spawning carp. ie -Lilly pads and shallow vegetation. Fish are very wary and skittish. Long casts and stealth was the key to success today. Caught some nice fish. Found some still on beds. Fishing has slowed down. Beautiful Northwest Day!

Went down lake to get better visibility. Fishing was fantastic today. You could catch dinks every cast. The big ones were on their beds and VERY finicky. You had to drop it on their heads and from a far enough distance they could not see you. Challenging but very rewarding! Long is your lake this weekend! 😎👍

Fishing was very SLOWWWwwww today. The visibility was either 2 ft. or 10 ft depending on where you were in vicinity to the Carp. The flats had active bass that were on a bed or just cruising. The no wind and clear water made them very skittish. Hard to almost impossible to catch. The technique I used was to spot a fish and back off to where I could not see them. Then I would long cast with a ned rig and try to visualize where the fish was. Long day at Long Lake. Caught 3. Biggest was 2.75 lbs

Put in at Spokane Campground launch and we towards damn. Water has cooled off due to the rain however visibility is good at this side of the lake. 8-10 ft. Fishing was phenomenal. I was fishing the ledges 10-15 ft. Caught 30+ fish (all smallmouth). Unfortunately all but 3 were under a 2 lbs. Fortunately one was 4.5 lbs!!! Really fun day and I made the right choice going down river/lake.

Fish are in full Spawn. This large mouth was under a log on a bed. Very aggressive strike. Caught other small mouth on open beds where their bite was much more subtle and they were a lot more skitterish.
