I offer both full day and half day wade spin fishing (If you prefer to fly fish you will be required to bring your own gear) trips for Smallmouth Bass for 1 or 2 clients. There are plenty of streams in PA that hold quality smallmouth. The tributaries along the major rivers are prime spots for nice size bass. They offer tons of great spots for these fish to hide and ambush prey from. The scenic rolling hills of western PA are a great back drop while wading these shallow crystal clear waters. These trips are graded in difficulty Low, Moderate, and High. We will be walking in a streams with rocks and they are slippery depending on the difficulty this is a tough task. Every person should be able to comfortably walk at least 4 miles on dry land most stream trips are 1 to 2 miles. You must be able to swim. We will be fishing with artificial lures from 412 Baits, Scared Fishless Baits, Rapala, Gear from Fishing Online and GLoomis rods, Fenwick rods, St Croix rods, Shimano Reels, Pflueger Reels with Gamma line.
