I think the smallmouth can weather the storm in alternate areas. I recently found a giant school of juvenile smallies, 6" to 10" suspended at 25ft in 35ft of water. They are still out there. Maybe the smallies have been driven out to the salmon areas and are competing with them now?
I have caught half a dozen nice smallies while trolling for salmon @ 30’ plus this summer.
Some rock bass too and I keep forgetting to kill the little bastards. Hmmm... bear baiting season is around the corner...
