Floated, and fished when I could, the Elk this weekend. Started on Friday night late with my fly rod throwing my own version of a crawdad. Started just before midnight and probably was out till about 2:30am. This was a couple firsts for me as well; first smallmouth on the fly rod and also first time fly fishing at night.

Someone help me identify this next bass, I thought it was a smallie at first, but.....

Then the lateral stripe in this picture was very clear. Spotted bass?

Baby smallmouth? They were all over if you paid attention. I was trying to see what the forage was. There also quite a few baby flathead cats as well but I didn't get a picture of one.

Huge scar on this smallie, it was on both sides too.

Early the next day we got up to float. I didn't use my fly rod because I didn't want to have to mess with it on the river so just an ultralight.

Looks like a largemouth not a spotted.

Yeah, that's what it looks like, but it seemed to be quite a bit smaller mouth than I would have expected.

Yeah, I will. Do river largemouth grow physically different than other largemouth? Usually, of course there's never a huge amount of smallmouth where I fish, I have no problem telling its a largemouth, I don't ever have to check the tooth patch or jaw line.
