Smallmouth Bass
While Theresa, Wisconsin isn't renowned for its smallmouth bass fishing, the Rock River does hold a population worth exploring, especially if you enjoy a more challenging angling experience. The key is to target areas with rocky bottoms, current breaks, and submerged wood – features that smallmouth bass favor. Look for these conditions around bridge pilings, riffles, and deeper pools within the river. Late spring and early fall, when water temperatures are moderate, are prime times to target smallmouth. Small crankbaits, tubes, and Ned rigs are effective lure choices. Consider wading the river in shallower sections for a more intimate fishing experience. Be aware of private property boundaries along the riverbanks. The smallmouth in this section of the Rock River may not be as large as those found in more famous smallmouth fisheries, but their scrappy nature and the scenic surroundings make for an enjoyable outing.
