One of the reasons the smallmouth fishing is so good here at the Junction is because of our catch and release policy. We started a catch and release policy with the fishermen that park and fish ten years ago. Then four years ago we started it with the campers. Fish numbers were really starting to dwindle, but now their numbers are on the rise again.
Whether wading, tubing, or canoeing a typical day can easily result in landing 50-75 smallmouth. Add in that many red eyes along with an ocasional catfish, or a muskie that seals your favorite plug, and that should make for a pretty good day of fishing. |
