Small Stream Fun


A double Fish Dog "woof" to Matt Dunn from J.L. Waters in Bloomington, IN. Matt was kind enough to share some of his favorite water and we enjoyed an evening of small stream surface action for smallmouth. Smallmouth bass, and a variety of other species are the native stream fish across much of the United States and are subject to many of the same environmental impacts as trout are. Agricultural runoff, loss of habitat, and overfishing are several of the stresses on many small river and creeks across the Midwest.

Just like its northern neighbor shes got alot of sand! The fun thing I have found is finding the creek and rivers that have the geological makeup that I think has better smallie habitat "more cobbles, pea gravel than sand and silt"
