Matt shares his expert strategies for adapting to dirty water and high flow conditions that have disrupted typical topwater opportunities across the region. Learn how to modify your smallmouth bass fishing approach using streamer techniques, including Chuck Kraft's Critter Mite patterns and crayfish imitations that produce results when visibility drops.
Matt reveals his go-to color choices for dirty water fishing—emphasizing contrasty dark patterns like black and blue combinations with copper flash—and explains why bottom contact becomes critical when smallmouth orient deeper during reduced visibility conditions.
Discover how to scale up your streamer sizes from typical 3-inch summer patterns to 4-5 inch offerings when dealing with swift, colored water, and get the inside scoop on seasonal timing as Matt looks ahead to fall musky season bookings.
