There are year round resident populations.......... perhaps not as large.......... but spunky.

Have you caught smallmouth in a season other than summer in a trib before? I've read about the resident populations but during the fall/spring all I see are steelhead/salmon being caught.

Yes I have.

Spring not as much as fall.

Somewhat different techniques from salmon or steel head. Plus the big boys spook the bass out in the better larger lies.

Prior to the creation of fall sanctuaries on one trib - fly fishing "wooly worms" was a fun outing for pan size smallmouth (~1#).
