Smallmouth Bass are on the Spawning Beds
 Smallmouth Bass are an aggressive fish at almost any time of year but in the spring when the males are defending the spawning beds the fishing can be amazing. What the males lack in size (for the most part smaller fish) they more than make up for in attitude. This week will be the best of the fishing for them on the spawn.

 plan was to catch a few trout on dry flies as the shadows lengthened. The bugs arrived on schedule but only a few fish were showing so I moved into the shallows to look for a few smallmouth bass before the trout got underway.
