 Appearance:
Brown-gold in color with dark brown spots often showing
up as bars going down the sides. Upper jaw stops before
the eye.
Angling:
In lakes, ponds, and reservoirs, smallmouths prefer
a rocky bottom, cool water, and crayfish. Crayfish
make up an important part of their diet wherever these
creatures are found. In lakes, smallmouths are mainly
located around rocky points; craggy, clifflike shores;
rocky islands and reefs; and riprap banks, preferring
small rocks but also favoring boulders. In flowing
water, smallmouth bass concentrate around boulders,
smaller rocks, gravel, stone, shale, and various obstructions
(fallen trees, bridge pilings, and the like) that
offer holding and feeding benefits.
