SMB on the D isn't what it once was. Work the spots that you think are fishy. Enjoy the rock bass, 10" stripers, and other fish that are around. The SMB population has taken a beating the last 4 years and isn't what you should target.

Yeah, that fishery has definitely seen better days.

Apparently the issues affecting the smallmouth fishery have to do with restricted water flows from the reservoirs in New York causing the smallmouth to become susceptible to the Columnaris disease.

Here is an article about it:

Monroe County PA ran buses on weekends around the Gap last year from Memorial Day to Labor Day, I didn't hear about it until late in the season so did not do it myself. My understanding is you just paid to park and they would take you upriver with your kayak/canoe for free, so you could paddle back to your car. Supposed to do it again this year, link below has some info.
