Fishing guide
Smallmouth Bass (Micropterus dolomieu) is considered one the toughest fighting freshwater gamefish. Its body is generally brown (seldom yellow) and mottled with a darker color. Smallmouth Bass prefers low temperatures and is usually found in clear, cool lakes and running streams with rocky areas as well as sandy bottoms of lakes and reservoirs. It can reach a max length of 70 cm (27 in) and weigh up to 5 kg (12 lb). Smallmouth’s average length is about 25-50 cm (10-20 in), while the weight is usually around 0.5-1.6 kg (1-4 lb). Its natural diet mostly consists of insects, small fish and crawfish.
If you are more into artificial lures, you should go for some Worms.
The most successful lure is Yellow/Black X-Series Casting Spoon 21 g, #3/0.
