The 2022 season was different from 2021 with respect to water flow. We had good fishing throughout the year with all kinds of patterns attracting smallmouth. The river has been running clear in recent years, a good sign of water quality improving and fish populations are enjoying good spawning success. The year class of young bass from 2021 will be noticeable for years to come and the fishing success will be carried for years by this 2021 year class. It should be a lot of fun!!

The Mississippi River is running a bit higher than we would like to see but should be dropping and coming into shape soon!
