Abstract:

Shaffner, a fishing guide in northwestern North Carolina, describes fishing for smallmouth bass in a very under-utilized fishery--the tributaries of large smallmouth bass rivers. He considers it the state's greatest freshwater game fish. He provides information on some of the streams listed by their river basins, such as the Yadkin River, New River, and French Broad River basins, as well as tackle and techniques to use.
