The river continues to flow at medium-low levels, about 600 cfs, which are great for fishing. Trips are catching about 60 smallmouth per day. Most of these are still smaller guys but we are seeing more large fish, to the 18 inch range, now that temperatures are cooler.

I had just completed a very difficult RN BSN program. Chris pushed us off the bank of the French Broad, and as soon as we hit the current relaxation washed over me like a gentle wave. My tackle had been prepared for me. I was told to cast into lines of turbulence after the rocks jutting out of the water. Fifteen minutes in and I had my first fish.

River flows are under 2 feet and have stabilized. Activity seems best in the mid-mornings and mid-afternoons; try to avoid noonday heat for best results. By Chris Manderson on Wednesday, June 24, 2009. http://sdfmaxvcus0678.maximumasp.com/articles/french-broad-river-fishing-report-06-24-2009/ http://sdfmaxvcus0678.maximumasp.com/articles/french-broad-river-fishing-report-06-24-2009/ Wed, 24 Jun 2009 00:01:29 -0400 Daily rains continue to push the french broad river flow up over 2 feet and stain the river to varying degrees. The smallmouth bite continues to be very strong when river clarity allows. Generally, if you can see 1-2 feet into the water the bite will be strong; if you cannot see anything under the surface fishing will be very difficult, if not impossible.

Flows should be back to normal this weekend. Smallmouth bass are in their summer patterns, so crankbaits and spinners are recommend for best results. Use bright colors in dingy water.
