Manage episode 419590311 series 2529488
Dive into the world of smallmouth bass fishing with host Marvin Cash as he introduces the inaugural Ruch Report on The Articulate Fly. In this episode, we're joined by smallmouth guide Brendan Ruch to get the latest scoop on river conditions and bass behavior post-spawn.
Brendan shares his experiences from a rare day off the water, reflecting on recent weather patterns that have led to high water levels and their impact on fishing. He discusses the shift back to April-like conditions on smaller streams and the prime hunting conditions that have emerged for big bass as tributaries clear and larger rivers hit that sweet spot of visibility.
Listeners will gain insights into the tactics and gear that Brendan employs to entice those hefty post-spawn bass, including streamer strategies and the importance of targeting mid-river structure for ambush predators. He also touches on the excitement of topwater fishing and the missed cicada hatch in his region.
Marvin and Brendan also discuss the opportunities for fishing as summer approaches and how to adapt as the water levels change. Brendan offers valuable advice on where to find bass as conditions evolve and what to expect in the coming weeks.
Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your feet wet, this episode is packed with practical advice and the infectious passion for fly fishing that will have you eager to hit the water. Tight lines!
