The smallmouth bass are starting to feed on minnows. Some of the largest bass are attracted to the “bank bays”. These are indentations which spring time floods have carved back into the river banks. To fish the bank bays, I use a 9ft 7-weight fly rod with a floating WF-7-F fly line and Murray’s Bright Butt 9ft 2X Leader.
