Smallmouth Bass
For smallmouth bass near Hyndman, Pennsylvania, the Raystown Branch of the Juniata River is your primary target. This river offers classic smallmouth habitat: rocky runs, riffles, and deeper pools. The section flowing near Hyndman is particularly known for its smallmouth population. Summer and early fall are ideal times, as the water warms and bass become more active. Focus on areas with current breaks, such as behind boulders or near submerged logs. Topwater lures, crankbaits, and tubes are all effective. A local tip is to wade fish the river early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid the crowds and capitalize on the low light conditions. Be prepared for some rocky wading, so wear appropriate footwear. Smallmouth in this area typically range from 12-16 inches, but larger specimens are definitely present.
