    Details: Smallmouth Bass

    Biggest one of the day was this really dark 19" smallie.Saw him cruising near some rip-rap,took the grub as soon as it hit the water.Most smallies were caught ...more in about 3 to 6 FOW near grass patches and long shallow gravel flats.

  • Laurel Bed Lake

    Both the smallmouth and trout have been stocked. Smallmouth populations appear to be in good shape and should provide ample fishing opportunity.
