Thanks Andy! I live very close to SR, however I don't have access to a boat and didn't know how productive bank fishing would be there. Any insight on that would be great!

Seasonally productive

Thanks jigman! Any go to lures I should know about? I haven't fished SR in YEARS so I'm a little out of the loop. Much appreciated!

You should look into trout fishing in that county too- one of the best places for trout in the state. I like to go on google maps and look for bodies of water and research if they are fishable or not. The state's fish+game website should list them too ofc. I can 2nd the reservoirs suggested

I fish for trout around me all the time! I've just wanted to get into bass fishing a little more recently than I have been in the past and was wondering if anyone had any hidden gem lakes/ponds they knew about. I killed the browns in spruce run creek on spinners at the end of last august, super fun!

It really depends. Chatterbaits are a 3 season bait. Big spinnerbaits too. Not much structure in spruce. It's a rocky pit. No weed beds. No pads. Need to cover ground or fish bait dependant upon season.

Not a hidden gem but the swimming lake at RVR has some good bass in it. Just hit it from the causeway early before the swimming area theatrics get underway around 8 AM.
