River fishing is one of the funnest fishing there is in my life. I hope this message makes it fun for you too.

When I fish the river I look at the water level,temerature, and time of year.
I mostly fish for Smallmouth bass here next to home. If the water is low, I like to either use crawfish, or a artificial lizard and use it like a jig. I llike to use the same lures pretty much all year round.

But, in the fall is when the top water action gets hot around here. In this case a use a mini torpedo, since it llooks like a frog, and they love it.

Remember, I’m talking about the rivers around here so these techniques may not work everywhere.

If you have any other ideas please let me know and I will be sure to try them out and write about how they work.
Just remember be safe and have fun outdoors.

I had an amazing opportunity to job shadow some guys at the local T.W.R.A office near where I live. The first thing we did was go to Buffalo Spring fish hatchery where we learned how they raise the trout and stock them into the surrounding streams and rivers.

After that, we went back to the office and ate lunch. When we finished we talked to the wildlife biologist, fish biologist, and wildlife officer.  This especially interested me as I plan to study wildlife biology and become a wildlife biologist in the field.  Just being there and listening to these men talk about what they do was exciting and made me even more determined to choose this for my career.

Of course, I won’t turn down the opportunity to do my own TV show either!!
