This smallie was caught below the Youghiogheny River Lake in the river. I threw the Squarebill upstream and bounced it off of boulders, throwing in some pauses. The smallmouth bass would come out from behind these big rocks and crush it.

Crawfish
Caught this smallmouth by letting the ned rig drift in a current slack behind a boulder after missing a strike on the Squarebill crankbait. This was in the river below the lake. You can choose different colors based on the water clarity that day, but I recommend any of the natural craw or minnow imitation colors for clear water applications like this.
