Went to the snake river yesterday. Fished below Swan Falls. Water temp was 48 deg. Caught one pre-spawn smallie. Might be my best smallie ever. [

That's a great smallie, especially for Swan Falls. All I ever seem to catch there are dinkers!

Nice smallie. You should of released him above the dam so I could get a chance to catch him. [cool]
I usually do pretty good at Swan above the dam but I never made it there last year. Definitely gotta get back there this year. [signature]

I never said I released her. I did, but I never said so. Couldn't see keeping one like that with all the perch in the freezer.

I just knew a good bass fisherman like you, would let a spawner go. [

Nice Smallie. Now that 48 degree water needs to work its way upriver to my spots.

Yeah. Too bad I didn't get her through the ice[

Nice fish!
I'm curious as to whether the river was high, muddy, and full of floating weeds below the dam? I was fishing 30-40 miles downstream below you that day, and those were the conditions. I wondered if there was runoff coming into the river, and if the weeds were ripped off the bottom, with more and more the further downstream a person went. Incidentally, my two thermometers read 43 and 46 degrees of surface temp. [signature]

Not many weeds in the water near the Swan. The water was a bit dark, but not terrible.
