On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV, we’re diving into the world of Fall River Smallmouth fishing with three legends of the water — Jeff Wolford, Jeff Miller, and Gayland Hethcote. With over 100 years of combined experience, these anglers have spent a lifetime unlocking the secrets of the Susquehanna, Shenandoah, Upper Potomac, Upper James, and New Rivers. From seasonal migrations and baitfish patterns to current breaks and structure, they’ve seen it all and know what it takes to consistently find and catch big smallmouth bass when the leaves begin to change.

Fall is one of the most exciting and challenging times of year to chase bronzebacks. As water temps cool and bait moves, the bite can shift overnight, making knowledge and adaptability critical. In this episode, we’ll break down where to find fish, what lures work best, and how to adjust your approach for changing river conditions. Whether you’re brand new to river fishing or a seasoned angler looking for advanced tips, this conversation is loaded with hard-earned insights, proven tactics, and stories straight from the water. If you want to take your fall smallmouth game to the next level, this is one you won’t want to miss!

This is an episode packed with local knowledge and practical advice you won’t want to miss!
