I fished laydowns located along the outside bends of Wolf River. Fish were tight to cover in the areas that provided the most current break.

Water level in the Wolf River near New London right now is extremely low. Most of the vegetation along the outside river channels is out of the water. Pitched behind any current breaks along the banks and any provided by laydowns still in the water. Along rocks banks threw DT6 crankbaits and Megabass Jerkbaits.

Water temps still hovering around 45 degrees. Last trip of the year. Water had risen about 2 feet from the recent heavy storms but was still very clean. Caught them on tubes, Berkley Fritz Side and Rapala DT 6 in the Demon color.

Water temps right around 50 degrees still. Fish were suspended over main river channel. Caught nicest smallmouth on an umbrella rig, but eventually fished channel swing humps with a DT 6 and even slower with a black and blue jig bumping bottom over the same rocky humps. The jig was the most productive of all the lures I tried. Should have mixed in a jerkbait, but I'll save that for next time.
