Finding fresh Mayfly slicks and making extremely long casts was key. The bigger Cane Walker let’s me cast the bait an extreme distance and cover water. I fish the bait quickly to try and trigger reaction strikes from post spawn fish feeding on the fresh mayflies. After the mayfly bite slows down, you can fish a hair jig in similar areas to keep catching smallmouth
