The summer is right on the horizon for those of us on the northern hemisphere. The advent of June brings with it something extra for others like me; the fisherman. The first two weeks of June usually coincides with the spawn of the smallmouth bass. During this time the bass will become extremely territorial of their spawning bed and attack most anything that crosses their path. Many a fisherman has come away from their catch slightly disappointed only for the fact that they were expecting a larger fish. Smallmouth bass are notorious for their fighting ability once hooked. They dive down continually until worn thin, only to reveal themselves as a phony. You’ll think you have a lake record on about every hook set. At least the fish will fight like one.
If you’re looking for a spectacular place to beat the shores for these powder kegs, Canada has the best fishing I know of for smallmouth. Clear waters, large boulders and healthy fish abound in Canada. If you catch the spawn at the right time it will be impossible to be let down. Go here to find cheap flights to Toronto.
