Date Fished: 9/2/2006
Water Temperature: ??
Water Clarity: 4 feet or greater Floated pontoons near Wells Creek with 2 buddies and caught several nice smallmouth (quit counting after 25). Most were caught on zoom lizards in motor oil with brown tail. I caught our largest fish on a double tail crawdad imitation in motor oil with chartruese flake. It weighed in at 3.5 lbs on a digital scale. Most fish were caught in 8 to 10' of water with direct access to a shallow reef and deeper water. That seemed to be the most consistent pattern we came across. Some fell to my favorite spinnerbait, including a 2.5 pounder. Most fish here run about 8-12 inches, but we try to use larger baits to entice larger fish. You'll here of 150 fish days on this river, but 95% of those are dinks.
