Fishing for Smallmouth Bass in Rivers

Actually all species are welcome here as long as it swims in  a river.This August 2012 I've been hunting for Smallmouth Bass in a local River ,the Ramapo ,and want to learn more about this adversary in their River homes.Nothing wrong with catching any fish that swims while trying to capture the feistiest fish in the river .Besides Smallies the Ramapo has offered up small but beautiful Red Breasted Sunfish,Crappie ,Largemouth Bass, Rock Bass, Creek Chubs,Bluegill,Pumpkinseeds and Stocked Trout !Quite an assortment !   I hope those that enjoy the exercise and activity of walking the river banks and wading the water will share their joy and knowledge of fishing this way ! Leave no fishing line or garbage  behind to disgust thoughtful appreciators of the outdoors!

Nice report you forgot to tell how you fell in :-) Great time I will hit it this week at the I-Hole.

      Why is it I have never caught a Smallie in the Wanaque River ? Seems to me at least small ones can make the River over that Greenwood Lake dam headwater area .Only Stocked Trout ,small Chubs, great looking little RBS ,a few 5" Bluegills ,and Pumpkinseeds and once a small Bullhead on a Crayfish piece intended for a Trout!
