Smallmouth bass trip on the Salmon River

A friend and I camped on the lower stretch of the salmon river. This time of year the trout fishing has died down and the smallmouth are hitting very well, so I target them on poppers and wolly buggers. We had some good success with larger bass, and caught plenty of fresh young fish.

A good smallmouth caught subsurface.

I caught this one on top at night.

We caught some decent largemouth too.

This is the average size that we caught, around 10in.
