JOHN DAY RIVER SMALLMOUTH BASS FISHING REPORT

Smallmouth bass fishing.
2003 report
John Day River
6/13-16/03

Dave Romano returned in 2003 with a great father/son three day/three night smallmouth bass fishing trip. The boys had fun fishing, camping, hiking and even playing in the mud. They were also instructed by their fathers and our staff in the safe handling of firearms and whitling wood without cutting your fingers off. This is what this trip is all about and I am sure that the adults and youngsters will forever remember this trip.

Low water conditions, excellent weather. Daily catches per rod 50+ fish. We had a number of fish in the 15" to 18" size.
