So it's been a while...actually it's been a long while, since my last update. And, if you've been like me, it's been frustrating watching storm after storm after storm roll through May and early June. This has absolutely wrecked havoc on the local rivers, and only recently has the weather held off long enough for them to be fishable for smallmouth. Unfortunately, work has decided to get really busy, and has made getting out to fish even harder.
So...yada yada yada, I am still around, but fishing has been something that has been a bit difficult to manage. With that said, the waters are now fully fishable, and the fish are out there. Actually, if you can brave the humidity and hot weather, now is a great time to hit the rivers or lakes, because even if the bite is not as strong as it was, you could always take a quick dip to cool off.
If you do decide to hit the mountain streams, remember to take extra precaution with the brookies, and to try and end the fight quickly, and return even quicker, as the warmer temperatures will be stressing our state fish.
Finally, I should have a better fishing report next week, as I will be traveling to Smith Mountain Lake to celebrate the holiday. Cheers and tight lines!
