Whether in a River or a lake it seems Smallies and Rock Bass like the same habitat ,preferring the rocky crags in cool clear water. They compete for similar forage I'm sure and I catch both in the same area if I'm using worms or crawlers for bait. Both got those Red Eyes too!

Nice profile pic, John! I've been tying a lot of smallmouth jigs for the spring. Shoot me a PM and I'll send you some.
