Smallmouth Bass
Smallmouth bass are ambush predators. Look for them in places which provide cover from which they can make forays to grab unsuspecting prey. On lakes, these include half-submerged trees and logs, boat houses and docks. Also target the shadows, as bass typically choose shade over the sunny spots. Most northern lakes are rocky, and drop offs, rocky points, and large underwater rocks are among their favourite haunts. In rivers, bass behave a lot like trout, staying near the fastest current, especially current breaks next to still water with deep holes, where they will hold and feed even through the brightest part of sunny days.
Northern Ontario — a gorgeous abundance of clear lakes, rivers, and streams. The opportunities for smallmouth bass, in particular, are second to none. Pound for pound, they’re one of the toughest and spectacular species.
