I took advantage of the insanely nice weather and put on the waders for one last walk about in the CT river for smallmouth. I stuck to a Keitech swimbait, a 3.3 in black and a 3.8 in two tone flash. The black only produced a crawfish (lol) and he was gripping the bait like it owed him money! Switched to the bait fish imitation and managed to land 2 smallies, lost a 3rd, and snagged 2 clams. A cornucopia of river dwellers.
I didn’t expect much, so any fish was a bonus from just being there in a T shirt in November! Until next year, God willing, I will return to to this slice of peace and excitement and chase these beautiful bass that call the river home.
