This year in the Ottawa Valley we are having a great Small Mouth Bass season. The ones above are several years old so they have been around, just not so noticeable. These were all caught on the Mississippi River which has a long trail in the area through lakes, etc. The second from the top is a very large SM for us. It was holding in quite shallow water behind a big rock out of the water.
The bottom fish is not a bass but rather what is call a Fall Fish. They are becoming more common. This one is a good size. They are actually quite fun to catch. It tried three times on three casts to down the mouse. And made a few jumps.
It is still too warm to go trout fishing. I was at my favourite brookie lake yesterday and the surface temp was 80F! That is 8 degrees warmer than more than a week ago. I had a few hits but was glad they got off quickly. I did not stay long. Guess I will just have to continue having fun with SM Bass. Poor me!
