2009 Smallmouth Forecast!

The 2009 VDGIF forecast is out! The table to the right shows my interpretation of there analysis.

You can read the report with all the details on this page.

Bottom line is that it looks like we will have a better year than last year as a result of a pretty successful series of spawns over the last several years.  Those fish are growing to a size that is interesting and should provide us with plenty of fun this summer.

The links in the table take you a SwitchFisher review of that particular river.

Geez!  From looking at the blanks, I've got my work cut out for me!  Plenty more places to check out!
