Winter Smallies

Thinking about going after some smallies this weekend with the nice weather incoming. I’m not very knowledgeable on where the fish would be this time of year. I like fishing above Bennett near Moon Valley, does that part of the river still hold fish this time of year?

There are 3 holes between MV and the 64 bridge that hold some all Winter, but it's really not worth it because they get real spooky as you approach them.  So unless you wanna sit there long enough for them to forget about you and settle down you'll likely only catch one dink per hole.  

The "forbidden section" of the Osage Fork is worth looking into, and in the same geographical area......but you'll have to do your own homework. 😁

Started off throwing the ned until I found them. Then once I knew I was in the right hole I started throwing a white spinnerbait and most were caught on that, although the biggest fish was caught on a crankbait. I had already begun to think I was going to get skunked since I was over 3 hours into my float, but I guess that’s just winter fishing. They all pile up together.
