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

The East Arm of Hubbard tends to hold the best concentration of a mix of bedding smallmouth and prespawn/spawning areas for fish to set up. With a large flat on the northern section of the east arm, the fish tend to setup on isolated rock/perch grass areas and dark spots on the bottom. Make the longest possible cast with your hair jig and slowly retrieve it mid-column, targeting dark spots or bottom composition changes. Keep your retrieve slow and steady, without cadence changes when you see fish tracking your bait. Best colors for hair jigs seem to be black or brown with white

The smallmouth are in full blown prespawn and were munching the Vision 110+1. Clear water and clear skies with slight wind will make for a fun day.
