Creek Addict

The Ramapo river literally runs through my backyard. The river is stocked with trout in the beginning of the season, but the good fishing in this river is for smallmouth. I’ve never hooked into anything huge, but they’re out there. I normally go for these guys underwater with big streamers and sinking line. Don’t be surprised if you pull out a big yellow perch using this technique as well. You’ll hear a lot of debate about which fish fights harder, the small mouth bass or the trout. I can’t really give my vote to either side, but I can tell you the for an all out aerial display, these ramapo smallmouth sure do put on a good show.
