Smallmouth were set up on wing dams, with deep water access. Small football jigs, ned rigs, and dt 6's did most of the damage. Fishing the jigs parallel to wing dams seemed to work the best to keep jig in strike zone

Dragging a "Traffic cone" LS lures finesse jig in 3/8oz into the current and slowly reeling it back in so there is no slack over the wingdams produced great trophy quality smallmouth.
