Smallmouth Bass
If you're chasing smallmouth bass in the Mount Jewett area of Pennsylvania, you're in for a treat. The Allegheny Reservoir, also known as Kinzua Lake, is a prime destination. Its rocky shorelines and submerged timber create ideal habitat. Spring and fall are the best times to target these hard-fighting fish. As the water warms in the spring, smallmouth move into shallower areas to spawn. In the fall, they aggressively feed to prepare for winter. A local tip: focus on areas near points and drop-offs with crayfish imitations or tube baits. Kinzua can get windy, so be sure to check the forecast before heading out. Also, note that the lower sections of some tributaries entering the reservoir can hold good numbers of smallmouth, especially after a rain.
