Justin92297 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I'm looking to find a good place to wade fish for smallies. Which accesses would be best for this and are there any other places in the area I should check out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Agnew Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Be prepared to do some walking. The fish-holding water just about anywhere on upper Black, including the West Fork and Middle Fork, is separated by long, shallow riffles. Wading is usually easy, with lots of bare gravel bars to walk along and plenty of shallow water that's easy to wade, but the fish are somewhat scattered. If you don't mind hiking a lot along the river, the two forks above their confluence are more wadeable than the river below. (and yes, there is an East Fork as well, but it can be nearly dry between the pools if there hasn't been recent rain.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
