Looks like a great time on the Susquehanna. There are so many good Tunkhannock fishing spots, including Tunkhannock Creek and Fish Pond Dam. But I've heard the Susquehanna is always a good choice. It sounds especially good for you given you went with fishermen who really know the river well. And we all know what a difference that makes. Good fishing report, thanks for sharing.

The Rapala X-Raps work great in hot conditions. If they are worked fast they provoke reaction strikes, which is a tactic that lands many smallmouth due to their aggresive nature. Start out with a number 10 to search with and drop down to an 8 or 6 to cleanup the rest.

WHen you think of PA and smallmouth bass, the suskie is the most famous. HOwever there are many other substantual fisheries like the youghagheny river in south western pa. It is a tailwater fishery that supports trout nearer the dam, but in the middle yough there are giant, eager smallmouth, aswell as walleye and muskie.

Smallmouths on the Susquehanna go crazy for tubes, fish them very slowly on the bottom and you are sure to get bites.
