JOHN DAY RIVER: Bass, trout
May and June are some of the best months to start targeting smallmouth bass and long-term weather forecasts look great predicting excellent conditions for smallmouth fishing. Latest reports suggest the bass bite is good, with some nice sized fish being caught. Slower presentations and fishing off the bottom generally do better when water temps remain cold.
