4/5 East TN Smallmouth

Went to Knoxville this weekend to visit a good friend of mine from home. While there, we took his canoe out for a float on the Holston River just outside of town in search of smallmouth bass. It was overcast and the water was a little off-color from the recent rain showers, but we were able to find about a half dozen or so smallies throughout the afternoon. Most of them were in the deeper stretches around structure, but some fish were actually rising to the surface on some tiny aquatic insects.
