tybrad Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Hey hey, just came back from a few hours on the Conestoga after work. I've been learning the river and how to river fish and managed to catch my personal largest smallie and ALMOST land one even bigger... it was swimming around my legs and got loose just as i went to grab it. Ah well, I am really happy to find some fun fighting fish so close to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Johnny Bass Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Congrats on your PB.Sounds like a nice little spot. If its rocky try pumpkinseed tubes and if its weedy, try 4 inch senkos texas rigged! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediangler Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Well done tybrad, now you'll have to try the Speed river and the Nith river. I know you've already fished the Grand. We do live in an excellent location for river fishing. Keep the reports coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
