James River

Tip of the week: 
Techniques: 

The longer days have the smallmouth moving about preparing for the spawn. The fish are most active late morning into early afternoon. Fish areas that are near the deeper holes that have shelves which the fish will move up on as the water temperatures rise.

Seven-day forecast: 

The river is blown out. Will probably be all week.
