I fished the river for smallmouths with my 7-wt this past summer, but didn't score a single bass this way. Try, try again. I will. And I hope we run into each other someday. Maybe I can leave notice on the blog ahead of time. It all depends on whether I have to think of it.Bruce Edward Littonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029604072966031704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9209286468796022587.post-13705169668208120792019-12-30T09:14:18.685-05:002019-12-30T09:14:18.685-05:00Just wanted to follow-up by saying that I spent a ...Just wanted to follow-up by saying that I spent a considerable amount of days this last summer searching the South Branch for smallmouth bass. I did find some...and had fun catching thme on fly gear. But I have yet to find the El Dorado for South Branch smallies. mrdeadpthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17458974620102891644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9209286468796022587.post-64604401622454924972019-08-14T18:08:42.610-04:002019-08-14T18:08:42.610-04:00You're welcome.

We found a fairly short section of overhanging bank no more that a foot and a half deep--and over two dozen smallmouth as large as a foot long. Have snorkeled this river and spied on a lot of bass and even a rainbow trout in August. Must have been a spring nearby.Bruce Edward Littonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029604072966031704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9209286468796022587.post-79434096186166678052013-11-18T18:52:26.176-05:002013-11-18T18:52:26.176-05:00My son and I spent an afternoon just exploring the...My son and I spent an afternoon just exploring the North Branch Raritan during summer, not fishing.

Easy to find fish and comfortable wading.Jeff Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16920169589253078310noreply@blogger.com
