“On The Top” Summertime River Smallmouth Tactics

The late-summer months are an overlooked window to catch big smallmouth bass that have been lazily lying in the middle of the river after a long spawning season. The insect hatches and emergences that occur throughout the day including mayflies, damsel flies and my favorite, the cicada, spur feeding frenzies and create an excellent opportunity to throw topwater lures and flies.

The Art of Artificials… Dumber for Summer

Dummy lures. That’s the word my old bass-fishing partners use to describe a certain class of lures. These lures simply need to be reeled in steadily to be effective. I’ll give you a few that get eaten pretty good, freshwater or salt, all over the country when the water is warmest.

Fly Fishing for Tarpon

Stalking Down a Blackfish

We left out about five in the morning. There is much to do, and time is of the essence. While each task is small, they are all of importance.

This is fishing on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Upstate New York Bass on the Fly!

For an angler, being outside and fishing in a short sleeve shirt with no one around should be enough to call any day a success. This day was about to get better. As we cast into a river with increasing water temps and a majority of the steelhead already back in Lake Ontario, our expectations of a tight line were low. Soon enough, as we launched large flies into the water, the addicting tight line grabs began. These fierce strikes were not steelhead, but hungry smallmouth bass. We enjoyed a full day on the river swinging 4-plus-inch flies and catching more than 25 smallmouth bass apiece.
