Susquehanna Smallmouth

[Nfranzetti]

Ended up floating the Susquehanna last night and today, camping along an island overnight. Highly recommend it. Many large fish including this one, my personal best smallie...

Awesome fish.  Has anyone fished where the Sus hits the bay lately?  Trying to take one last trip of the summer and might be making a trip up there, but never fished that area. Smallies or large mouth?  Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks,

Dan Barrett

Nice fish! The Susqy is a smallmouth factory this year. What'd you take him on?

Thanks. This one hit a #2 Olive CK Clawdad. Had my best luck bouncing them off the bottom on a dead drift on deeper slower water. Also did well during the evening on a blue popper. Lots of nice fish throughout the trip. Highly recommend a trip up that way...

I havent fished the flats recently, but a buddy of mine that fishes professionally for bass said he's been slaying really big smallies and largemouth in the channel edges there all summer... good luck if you go.

Sounds like a great trip. Nice fish. How was the camp site?

Very healthy bronze back you got there.  Never aimed at targeting smallies yet, I would like to go for them before the year's end.  Is there a "peak period" for them?  Have yet to fish the Susquehanna any advice for someone who doesn't have access to any kind of watercraft and is limited to waders?

[Nick F - Gaucho Fly]

Campsite was terrible. A rocky beach we found as the sun was setting. . We just winged it

[Misha Gill]

Ah the good ol clawdad. Great fly, just gets a little tiresome to cast. 

My advice to you, Senor Denito, is to not go if the water is over 3.5 ft at the Harrisburg guage. Really you want it right at 3.0 feet. When that's the case I've been able wade out across most of the river. Just be careful and go to the right spot. I suggest Dauphin. It would probably actually be safer to wet wade than to wear waders. If you go to Dauphin, the deepest spot will be right along the bank where you park. Once you get past that you shouldnt have any problems.  

You could also go to the Seneca rapid on the Potomac. 

There's not really a peak period, just as long as the fish havent moved to their wintering holes, which wont be till october sometime.

That's too bad. Hammock camping might be an option, one with an intergraded bug net and rainfly perhaps?
