The usual suspects should produce...On top....Buzzbaits, Zara Puppy, Tiny Torp, Pop-R. Rapala...Mid-Water-Wee craws, spinnerbait, zoom flukes, curly tail in minnow colors..Bottom- Jig & Craw, Tubes, Curly tails, and Hula Grubs in crawfish colors. Cheers.

Just as important, understand that the water will probably be the clearest you've ever seen. The usual suspects named above should all work, although I'm not a big fan of crankbaits in extremely clear water. But the key is to make long casts. The fish on upper Black are used to canoes and other watercraft going by them, but they do tend to hunker down when they see the traffic.

Went down a few weeks ago, Caught a 15" Smallmouth on a black plastic crawdad. Going this weekend but down closer to Annapolis. I am hearing that crawdad cranks and minnow colored Senko are working in that stretch of the Black.

thanks for the tips...im leaving this sunday and wont be back until friday ill be down in lesterville staying at twin rivers landing......i am planning on bringing my fly rod and my spin rod.....i read something in the paper the other day about the black river they were sayiong that it is the best it has been for floating in several years....also they noted that the water was very clear this year due to the floods washing away the silt left over from when that dam broke in 2005....anyway ill let you guys know how the trip goes.....

They were not kidding about being cleared up! The river was beautiful! And that seems to be the problem, it was too clear for wade fishing, I could see the bass everywhere which means they could see me also. I tried everything i had in my vest and no luck. None the less it was a great day to be in the water with a rod in hand.
