The 2011 Smallmouth Bass fishing season is about to get going starting the first week of June. With a little cooperation from the river, we should see another excellent season of fast and furious topwater action for the fiesty smallmouth bass. Bass trip are a great time to learn new techniques, and allow for a great way to teach young fishers the ropes of fishing from a drift boat. 50 fish days are not uncommon, with early season fish being the best chance at a true 5 lb smallie on the fly. After July 4th, the water warms to swimming temps and the fish become more adapt to the early morning and evening activity periods. One of the best parts of any Grande Ronde smallmouth trip is the great shore lunch made from the days catch. Smallmouth fried tacos and a fresh salsa salad are a hit with everyone. If you're not into fish, than how about a fresh grilled homemade smoked german sausage with a sweet pinapple chutney sauce. As good as lunch sounds, the catching is even better. Don't miss out on a great smallmouth trip this summer. Check the calendar page on the website to see open dates..........See you on the river.....................rickMark and Ben Schemmel Summer 2010
