Think smallmouth shut down in the winter? Think again! Learn where to look, what baits to throw, and how to fish them effectively in icy waters.
 

 

Great video, Love those River Smallies

As a river rat this all solid information! A good rain will also raise the water temp and I believe muddy water warms easier/quicker.

Solid info. The one thing here is our fish tend to stay shallower because the flatheads inhabit the deeper holes now. They completely school up and pushed most smallmouth out.
