In hot weather our smallmouth pull a disappearing act. But as soon as water temperatures reach 70 degrees or below they magically reappear. They have done so with a vengeance. We're catching them like crazy right now below Chickamauga Dam The only problem is we've got lots of little ones. We seem to have huge year classes of one and two-year-old fish coming along, which obviously bodes well for the future. However we're smacking a few good kicker fish in addition to all the little guys. Check out http://www.ScenicCityFishing.com and "come getcha some!"
