Smallmouth Bass
Chasing Smallmouth Bass near Tomah, Wisconsin, offers a unique experience, especially if you explore beyond the obvious. While Lake Tomah holds some smallies, consider venturing to the Lemonweir River and its tributaries. These waterways offer a more riverine smallmouth experience. The best time to target them is late spring through fall, with the pre-spawn and post-spawn periods being particularly productive. Look for rocky areas, current breaks, and submerged wood. Smallmouth in this region tend to be opportunistic feeders, so a variety of lures can work. Crayfish imitations, tubes, and spinnerbaits are all good choices. A helpful tip: focus on areas with faster current and deeper pools. Wading the Lemonweir can be a rewarding way to find these fish, but be aware of the river conditions and water levels before you go.
