WENT TO THE NEW RIVER IN WEST VIRGINIA FOR A FEW DAYS. HIRED A GUIDE AND WENT ON A RAFT FOR TWO DAYS. CAUGHT SMALLMOUTH 5 ONE DAY 7 THE OTHER. RIVER WAS LOW BUT RISING AND YOU COULD SEE ABOUT 2 FT DOWN.
USED BEADHEAD WOOLY'S , SMALL POPPERS, SMALL SNEAKY PETES. TAKING TO OTHERS THERE
THE SPAWNING HAS BEEN BAD FOR LAST TWO YEARS BECAUSE OF FLOODING. THE FISH WE CAUGHT AVERAGED ONLY 11'' WHICH WAS PROBABLY LAST YEARS HATCH. LARGEST WAS 14''. IF THEY START HAVING THE RIGHT WEATHER THE FISHING SHOULD GET BETTER OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS AND GET BACK TO 20 FISH DAYS WITH AN AVERAGE OF 16''.
