Smallmouth Bass
Smallmouth bass fishing in Solon Springs is a hidden gem, with the Upper St. Croix River and its connecting flowages offering exceptional opportunities. The St. Croix is a classic smallmouth river, characterized by rocky bottoms, swift currents, and plenty of submerged structure. Target areas around rapids, boulders, and fallen trees. Topwater lures, such as poppers and walking baits, can be explosive during the warmer months, particularly in the early morning and late evening. Crankbaits and jigs are also effective, especially when fished along the bottom in deeper pools. The St. Croix River State Park offers excellent access to the river, with several boat launches and canoe access points. Be aware that the river can be shallow in places, so a shallow-draft boat or canoe is recommended. A local tip: explore the smaller flowages and backwaters off the main river channel; these areas often hold overlooked populations of smallmouth. The smallmouth bass in the St. Croix River are known for their aggressive strikes and strong fights, averaging 12-16 inches, with some exceeding 18 inches.
