While some of the smallmouth bass are still guarding nests in some portions of green bay there are plenty of fish that have completed the spawn. We have been finding our best success fishing for fish that are not in … Continue reading →

Smallmouth Bass: In addition to the Hellgrammite tactics I covered last week I often fish the Murray’s Heavy Hellgrammite upstream dead drift when there are pockets three to four feet deep in the riffles. Using twenty foot casts straight upstr

Bass: We are catching some nice bass below the riffles now by swimming our Murray’s Heavy Hellgrammites slowly across stream along the stream bottom. I am doing best by using a Scientific Anglers Sink Tip III line with a Murray’s Fluoroc

The bass rivers are cold but were starting to catch some bass in the deep pools on large streamers such as Murray’s Madtom Sculpins size 4 in both Black and Olive and with Shenk’s Sculpin size 4.  I like to use a Teeny 200 Line or a

  The North Fork of the Shenandoah River is fishable at this time.  The South Fork is currently NOT fishable due to high water level. The deep back eddies on the slow sides of the river below the riffles are producing some nice bass. 

Smallmouth Bass: You owe it to yourself to be on a smallmouth river at dusk this time of year when the Brown Drake Mayfly spinner fall is taking place. Recently on the North Fork of the Shenandoah River just downstream from Edinburg I had over a doz

Smallmouth Bass Streams: If you would like some great surface fishing for smallmouth bass go to the North Fork of the Shenandoah River and put in at access point #18 (Meems Bottom) and fish down to access point #19 (Covered Bridge). Fish your Shenan
