SpeciesSmallmouth BassTechniqueNed RigsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureBouldersI went for a morning trip. It’s a fish for free day in PA so I wanted to beat all those people out. The river is running about 3.6 on the gauge I go by. Per usual I do struggle when it’s starts flowing around 3.5 on the gauge. I started out by targeting a powerhouse turbine tunnels. Nothing happened there. I then was targeting trees that got stuck on the bottom and behind exposed rocks. I was in 1’ to 3.5’ of water. I managed a real small one on a crank bait.

In the afternoon they were picking it up right off the bottom.

I slow rolled spinner baits over shallow boulders uders. This produced multiple fish in the 2-3 pound range. It was a good bite to get onto. The water was slightly stained but running around 4’

The bite was very tough just making long drifts floating down trying to cover as much water as possible. The river is getting shallow. So the bass are spreading out. I’m
