Love the explanations of what you're reading from the water and how to attack it. Its taken many years to harness the knowledge and avoid fishing history. You may have spooked a few but while landing other smallies. We were taught similarly by a veteran river guide buddy. Love seeing it in action brother
If I had a place to store a kayak and transport the kayak to the river id get one. Does anyone own a tucktech portable kayak. If so what's your opinion on them? To me honestly it wouldn't be save to use in heavy current.
I just got home from fishing up there for 6 days.Definitely a special place and I will be going back again next year!! Love the channel and keep the videos coming!
It's been really tough catching descent fish. Best time for me was mid May into early June prespawn. The catching and the quality of fish sadly gone seriously down hill. I really hope it'll be better in October.
Awesome! Good luck out there. If you haven't seen it already, this video touched on similar topics but I'm on the Susquehanna: ua-cam.com/video/V864Nc57WeM/v-deo.html
Love your channel!! I enjoy the tips and information. I live in Minnesota and would love to do a day fishing with you. Another topwater lure I’ve had success with is the riser bait 007r. Give that one a try.
Thanks for the support! I'll try to find one of those baits. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be back up in MN until next season. Keep catchin em up there for me until then.
The float from the upstream landing to where you launched at is probably one of my favorites. Got a breakdown of your kayak setup? I've been on a pedal drive the last few years but thinking it's time to upgrade to a motor setup.
Yeah I would like a breakdown as well . Bought a pedal drive it does what I need it to . But I can’t afford a boat and I’m tired of using paddle and pedal . I’m ready to just relax on the water and not have to work to fish .
It's a blast to fish that area. I like the whole stretch from the dam down to Clearwater. No in depth look at the setup right now. The fishing videos are doing well now so I've been trying to stick with those, but I want to get a rig overview in the channel in the future. Probably this fall or early winter.
In small rivers it's all about finding the holes that will hold fish in the winter. Those are refuge zones when the water gets low. They aren't in them to winter just yet (they'll move if water allows) but they definitely want to be close to them without getting cut off. In some of the small rivers by me, it seems that a large chunk of the population moves out of the river entirely down to the next bigger river. I think they do this before fall low water periods so they don't get stuck in a pool and die there because it's not the right habitat for low water or winter.
Can you do a video on fall lures please? With specific suggestions, for example, lots of videos will say "use a jerkbait" but there is so many and I have no idea which one is ideal for rivers. Thanks!
@@RivermanTV- Cool man. Any suggestions you could hit me up with now? Gonna go fishing this weekend on my kayak. Usually run a top water and ned/wacky rig. Was thinking trying a vision 110jr? Better options for fall? (live in ontario,canada so getting colder)
@@zachh-w3s love the 110 jr plus one and the x-80 trick starter for open water. For grassy stuff I've been liking the Zman jerkshadz on a 1/8 oz weighted hook
Love it. Your presentation is right up my alley. Thought process + execution + feedback + adjustments. 🤟🤟
👊👊

This is my six grade teacher

Gotta make the yearly pilgrimage! Thanks for coming along for this one and future vids 👊

This time of year is definitely on the slower side but there are good things to come in Oct!
I learned a lot from this-thank you! I’m going to try to apply the current seam info to the Susquehanna on my next trip.

@@RivermanTV- oooh awesome, I hadn’t seen it yet. Thank you! I noticed you mentioned it in this video. 👍🏼
You are the man. Great breakdowns. You are braver than me, fighting that current would make me uncomfortable.
It's def not the most comfortable place but damn it was fun!

If you could live near some of the best smallmouth fishing where would that be ? Which town, city ?
Hard to say. Somewhere in MN like Minneapolis/St Cloud or central WI for proximity to lots of options.
very well-made video . good fishing too
Thanks, man! Plenty more good fishing to come this fall. Can't wait.

Quick question for you. My rivers up here in mid Michigan are extremely low right now, what is your approach in low water level conditions?
Small rivers btw

@@RivermanTV- thanks man, appreciate it!
I’m ready for the next upload already
Can you do a video on fall lures please? With specific suggestions, for example, lots of videos will say "use a jerkbait" but there is so many and I have no idea which one is ideal for rivers. Thanks!
I will try to make one similar to my early summer baits video here soon

9:01 That was a sweet bite, right at the boat!💪
They're always trying to scare me 😅
Rivers are pretty
Some are even purdy
@@RivermanTV- yea
I so appreciate your channel. Most relevant to the conditions I fish. Can’t beat the instructional value as well. Thank you!
Happy to help!
